Why the root zone matters
Settling coir and uneven hydration can change the final planting level.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check the planting material supplier's guidance
- Inspect crown position after watering
- Ensure roots contact the medium without severe bending
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What do you see after watering?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Crown buried
Correct planting depth according to crop guidance.
Roots exposed
Review settling and fill level without burying the crown.
Plant loosely supported
Improve root contact and check the planting hole.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Inspect a sample of plants again after the first irrigations.
Keep in mind
Do not use deep planting as a universal cure for loose plants.
