  • avoid growing in small pot indoors instead plant in deep pot outside or in a free-draining part of garden
  • ensure soil isn't hard or too compact by digging over. Dig in potting mix if required
  • mound the soil up and plant seedling on top to ensure
  • soil is aerated and free-draining
  • water in morning to allow water to dry off during day and prevent disease
