- in the prepared area, planting holes are dug up to 60 cm deep;
- the distance between plantings is maintained from 2 to 2.5 m, between rows - up to 3 m;
- on the day of planting, the seedlings are placed for 3-4 hours in a container with warm, settled water, the rhizomes are treated with a manganese solution;
- The plant is placed in the hole, carefully distributing the rhizomes, and covered with fertile soil on top.
