Position the soil line approximately 2 inches above the roots, water thoroughly, and keep the soil moist but never saturated. Place the young plants in bright indirect light for at least two months while they establish, then gradually introduce them to full sun. Outdoor planting is best done while dormant in late fall or in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. During winter, the plants may have no leaves and appear dormant; new growth should return when conditions become favorable.
