💡 Care Tip
Choose a permanent planting location and prepare the soil before planting. Position the crown with its growing points just below the soil surface, then water well until established. Avoid harvesting during the first growing season so the plant can develop a strong root system. Wear gloves when handling the hairy leaves and stems, and remove crown and root fragments carefully if you ever need to control its spread.
