Proper Planting Depth (pardon the camera angle!)

Proper planting depth is essential for healthy plant growth because it directly affects root development, stability, and access to water and nutrients. When a plant is set too deep, its roots and stem can suffocate or rot; when planted too shallow, roots may dry out or fail to anchor the plant securely. Planting at the correct depth allows roots to spread naturally, supports strong early growth, and helps the plant adapt more easily to its environment. In short, proper planting depth lays the foundation for long-term plant health and productivity. 🌱
