As you can see from the picture, I had totally buried them as these give good support for the plant to stand upright.<br />Placing the roots just above the soilmix may cause the plant to be unstable and may fall over from the pot & they might not recover from the intial shock.<br />Hope this helps.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-89173708245919405322010-12-14T06:25:39.497+08:002010-12-14T06:25:39.497+08:00Hi James,

The reports on how to pot them seem mixed. Some say just to press the furry feet into the soil but not to cover them and others say to bury the feet. What are your thoughts?<br /><br />Hank<br />FL, USAHank Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789018745102952512noreply@blogger.com
