- Choose a sunny to partly shaded spot with well drained soil. Enrich the soil with Dynamic Lifter Soil Improver & Plant Fertiliser.

- Position in hole and backfill with soil, gently firming down. Water in well after planting to settle the soil around the roots and keep the soil moist for several weeks while the new plant establishes
- Mulch with an organic mulch, such as bark chips, sugar cane or pea straw ensuring to keep it away from the leaf bases.
