Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Before planting, soak the bare roots in lukewarm water for a few hours to rehydrate them. This crucial step helps them to quickly revive and establish in their new environment.
Planting: Plant the bare roots in well-drained soil, whether in the ground, pots, or containers. Ensure the crown of the plant (where the roots meet the stem) is at soil level.
Watering: Water generously after planting and maintain consistent moisture. Avoid letting the soil dry out, especially during hot weather.
Mulching: Apply a generous layer of mulch around the plants. This helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Sunlight: Ensure the plants receive full sun, which is essential for fruit production.
