Fertilizing Instructionsįertilizers for Devil's Backbone plants are available in many forms: granulated, slow-release, liquid feeds, organic or synthetic.
This indicates that the soil is thoroughly wet. Water the entire soil area until water runs out the base of the pot. If the top 2-4” (5-10cm) of soil is dry, or plants are wilted, it is time to water.Īpply water at the soil level if possible to avoid wetting the foliage. Check the soil moisture with your finger. Watering Instructionsĭevil's Backbone prefers moist but well-drained soil. Repot every 2 years in the same container or in a container slightly larger than the diameter of the roots. Place plant in a reliably sunny location. When all the plants are potted, water thoroughly to settle the soil and give plants a good start. Insert the plant into the hole and press soil firmly around the roots and just covering the root ball. Make a small hole in the soil slightly larger than the Zig-Zag plant's root ball either by hand or using a trowel. Prepare the container by filling with potting soil up to 2” (5cm) from the rim of the planter. Select a container with a drainage hole or be prepared to drill holes for drainage if there are none. Many are available with a mild starter fertilizer in the mix. These are usually lighter in weight than topsoil, sterile and pest-free. To plant Devil's Backbone start with a good quality, commercial potting soil.
