OMG this is THE best "basic planting" video on yt…ive been searching everywhere because i am a total noob and didnt know what to put in the hole with the plant…now i know you dont have to put any fertilizer or mulch in there lol (see i dont know anything about gardening). So glad i watched this!!
A lot of shrubs in 2 or 3 gallon nursery containers the past couple of years have been somewhat under-grown. Possibly a result of severe cold weather in the south and the COVID lockdowns/shutdowns.
Anyway, how do you deal with a newly planted shrub that seems to struggle staying upright in even a modestly windy day (10-15 mph)? Our Purple Diamond Loropetalum are like this.
To be fair, we have a windy spot up against the front of our house. There are no houses across the street from us or large trees in our landscape to help block the winds.

Excellent! And box-cutting to new to us, so thanks for the tip.
oops! I think I goofed and didn't mess up the roots enough- I was afraid I would hurt it. Will my boxwood still grow? 🙁
Awesome content! Thank you for sharing
This was extremely thorough and helpful. Well done, and thank you so much!
Great informative video!
So never any amended soil?
Very helpful! Thank you for posting this. I know what I need to do now. 🙂
Great video! I always thought the hole should be deeper and filled with good soil underneath.
No fertilizer, compost, or anything else at planting time???
Every expert have their own rules of transplanting potted plants. My head is already spinning!
Good job
Thank you for these very simple, but thorough instructions!
