Planting Instructions:

1. Measure: Check the depth of your tree's roots with a ruler or measuring tape.
2. Dig: Dig a hole wide and deep enough for your tree's roots to comfortably spread.
3. Root Prune: Gently separate tangled roots to encourage healthy growth.
4. Place: Carefully position your tree in the hole, ensuring it's neither too high nor too low.
5. Secure: Fill the hole with soil, ensuring the tree is snug but not buried too deeply.
6. Stake: Support your tree with a bamboo stick and tie it gently to encourage upright growth.
7. Water: Water your tree daily for the first three weeks, especially during hot weather.
8. Fertilize: Provide your tree with a small amount of fertilizer to promote strong growth.

 

Congratulations, plant enthusiasts! You've successfully planted a new tree and gained a tree friend to watch grow. Keep nurturing it with love, water, and perhaps a little dance party – trees love that too!

Warm regards,
