If the plant is exceedingly root bond , disjoined etymon with fingers . A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay , but should be kept to a lower limit . Continue filling in ground and water supply thoroughly , protect from direct Lord’s Day until stable .
To engraft desolate - root plant : industrial plant as shortly as possible after purchase . Prepare suitable planting holes , spread root and ferment soil among roots as you fill in . Water well and protect from direct sun until stable .
