Cut back bloom stems by 1/2 , to inviolable growing new shoots and remove 1/2 of the bloom stem a couple of inches from the ground ) Always remove idle , discredited or diseased wood first , no matter what character of pruning you are doing .

If soil is poor , dig hole out even encompassing and fulfill with a mixture half original land and half compost or soil amendment .
cautiously remove shrub from container and gently separate ascendent . Position in center of hole , best side facing forwards . Fill in with original soil or an amended intermixture if needed as described above . For larger shrubs , build a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If the plant life is ball - and - burlapped , move out fasteners and pen up back the top of raw gunny , tucking it down into kettle of fish , after you ’ve positioned bush . verify that all burlap is swallow so that it wo n’t wick H2O away from rootball during hot , dry catamenia . If synthetical burlap , remove if potential . If not possible , slew away or make slits to allow for roots to acquire into the new soil . For larger shrubs , build a pee well .
