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.
Alright, step 2. Digging a hole. Well, that didn't sound too hard, did it? Lucas brought George (his plant) over to the flowerbed and carefully dug a hole big enough for it to go in. "Looks about good. I think you'll fit in there quite nicely, don't you?" he asked the plant, which shook a bit in response. (Well, it was probably just doing that because that's what they did, but Lucas took it as a response.)
