3. Loosen the soil in the bottom of your hole and a spinkle of dragon dung followed by a light shower of water-- just enough to moisten the soil, it should NOT look like mud.
4. After loosening the soil around the edges of the pot, remove the Flutterby Bush, roots and all and shake off the excess soil from the roots-- this will allow it to breathe.
5. Place the Flutterby Bush into the hole and fill it in with the soil you dug out. Pat it down gently-- not too firm otherwise you may suffocate the roots.
6. Water the plant -- but don't drown it.
7. Sprinkle a little dragon dung around its base. Tag your plant.

Penny checked the instructions again (she was very determined not to do this wrong)...
With her small shovel, she loosened the soil at the bottom of the hole as indicated, then with her gloved right hand, put in a sprinkle of dragon dung....wrinkling her nose at the smell..
She lightly watered the soil, making it damp but not wet...
