The exceptions can set new roots from mature wood, e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/rose-bushes\">rose bushes<\/a>, buddleja, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/elderflower-plants-sambucus\">elder<\/a> can all be planted deep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Burying a potted plant\u2019s rootball properly:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Keeps the sun and wind off, like a jacket against water loss.<\/li>\n<li>Releases a small trickle of nutrients when watered, washing local soil particles down onto the roots, which is what roots like.<\/li>\n<li>Gives soil life a surface to live under, right on top of the rootball. Soil life lives underground, studies show.<\/li>\n<li>Can\u2019t hurt with stabilizing tall plants a little against wind rock, but obviously not a replacement for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/stakes-guards\">support stake<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>This Means That Classic Planting Advice is Off By One Centimetre<\/h3>\n<p>We have repeated this advice ourselves: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPlant a potted plant in a hole the same depth as the rootball. Don\u2019t bury too deep!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>The Old Me, Poor Innocent<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The perfect planting hole is <strong>one centimetre deeper<\/strong> than the rootball is tall, so when you sweep the local soil over it, it\u2019s flush, not raised, which would shed water, and to an extent mulch if there is enough of a mound.<\/p>\n<h4>Thanks for Telling Me, Now I Have to Replant My Plants<\/h4>\n<p>Do not replant your plants! Just mulch them and they will be fine.<\/p>\n<h4>Note About Rain and Planting Depth<\/h4>\n<p>Gardening is all context: what do you want to achieve, what are your local growing conditions, and what mulch is available, if any? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your soil is wet through the year, you might make ridges and mounds for planting into, so the base of the rootball is sitting on top of the native soil. <br \/>If mulching, ideally use a mix of whatever organic matter with gravel and\/or sharp sand to hold less moisture.<\/li>\n<li>If your site is really dry and\/or free draining, you might plant into a 2-inch depressions, so the surround soil forms the rim of a little bowl to catch rain. <br \/>Mulch is recommended, ideally woodchips or grass clippings. Manure is good too: horse, pig, rabbit and chicken must be composted, ruminant manure like cow and sheep can be fresh. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Finally: Watering<\/h3>\n<p>New plants all need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/blogs\/gardening\/watering-new-trees-hedging\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13343\">watering in dry weather<\/a>, even if they are drought tolerant when established. <\/p>\n<p>When watering most new plants with a hose or drip irrigation system, perhaps using handy reusable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/porous-hose-leaky-pipe\">porous hose<\/a>, it\u2019s key to avoid overwatering. Water deeply, then allow the soil to breathe air for a few days, until the top inch really dries. <br \/>If you\u2019re watering with watering cans &amp; buckets then it\u2019s hard work to overwater, enjoy the exercise and don\u2019t bother watering damp soil!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After you plant a potted plant like Lavender out in your garden or a larger container,
