What do I need? - A trowel

Water firstPlace the Nandina in a bucket of lukewarm water first. Add garden peat and compost to a large pot and then plant. First place the plant in shade first, and move it to an area in the sun for an hour longer each day, so that it can adapt.
In the gardenNandinas thrive in the sun or half shade and in nutrient-rich soil. Dig a planting hole and till the soil a bit, so that the roots can take hold quickly. Set the root ball at the proper height, so that the top is just below ground level. Fill the hole up with soil, garden peat and compost, and press firmly. Water the plant right away.
