When to plant 1-3 Litre Climbing Plants
1-3 litre climbing plants can be planted at various times of the year, although the optimal periods are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These seasons provide moderate temperatures and sufficient moisture, allowing the plants to establish strong root systems before the extremes of summer heat or winter cold.
How to Plant 1-3 Litre Climbing Plants
To plant 1-3 litre climbing plants, select a location with appropriate support, such as a trellis, fence, or wall. Prepare the soil by digging a hole twice the width of the pot and just as deep. Carefully remove the plant from its container, gently loosening the roots if they are compacted. Place the plant in the centre of the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with soil, firming it gently around the base. Water thoroughly to help the plant settle and establish. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. As the plant grows, guide the climbing shoots towards the support structure.
