1) Dig a hole deep enough that you could set your pot in it and the top soil of the pot would be level with the groundish.
2) Water the soil a bit but not enough that it becomes like mud.
3) If the pot you have is made out of pliable, flexible material, massage the pot so the roots get loosened a bit. [This will apply only to the cheap-o flutterby pots.]
4) Carefully, gripping the plant at the base of its stem, remove the plant from its pot. MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL ITS ROOTS!
5) Gently set it inside the hole in the ground, guesstimating to make sure there's enough room for the roots. Make sure it doesn't sink (otherwise you'll need to add more dirt to the hole before you plant it).
6) Retaining a hold on the plant being transplanted, massage its roots some more until they are loose and spread out in the hole you made. Don't rip or tear at the roots though; gentle is thee word.
7) Use your shovel (or your hands, mouth, neighbor's shoe, whatever) plantto gently fill in the space over the roots/around the base of the with the soil you displaced when you first dug the hole.
8) Pat the dirt up around the base of the plant and then make a ring, like a moat, so it has space for the water to seep in. And remember, you don't want any exposed roots.
9) WATER the PLANT.
10) Repeat steps 1-9 with your puffapod, preferably planting it right next to your own flutterby bush. Remember to space them 2-3 feet apart!
Cedric start planting his plants...He dig a hole deep but not so deeply and the top soil of his pot was level with the groundish...""Aguamenti..."Cedric muttered to water the plants but he use it only a few seconds..Cedric massaged the pot so the roots in the pot was loosened
Cedric gripped the plant in its plant carefully and he make sure that he get all the roots..then Ceric gently put in inside the hole..and make sure it doesn't sink..then he gently massaged the roots so the roots will loose and spread
into the ground
then Cedric used his own hands because he doesn't have a shovel to gently fill in the space over the roots/around the base of the with the soil...and Cedric pat the dirt up and make a ring so the water will sink around the plants..it is like a island because the plant was surrounded by water
Then he water the plant using aguamenti..Cedric move away from the flutterby around three feet and repeat the same procedures he did in the flutterby bush...
