These lovely roots need to be planted in a sunny position, where it catches the sun for the majority of the day. Avoid planting them under trees and ensure they are at least 2 ft from a wall. If planting multiple roots, plant them at least 3 ft apart to ensure good airflow.
Dig a hole which is 8 inches deep by 1 ft round and place the root with the eyes facing up, 1 inch below the surface. Add soil and water generously. Avoid using mulch as it encourages bacteria.
