How to plant Aster

1. Select the rhizome

Aster is usually planted in spring when the soil thaws to a depth of about 10 cm. Choose rhizomes that are relatively sturdy, have dense and short nodes, and have a dormant period as planting seedlings. Cut it into small segments of about 5-7 cm in length, and ensure that each segment has 2-3 dormant buds, which will be more conducive to survival.

2. Planting in the soil

Plant immediately after cutting. When planting, dig a 25-30 cm wide horizontal trench on the prepared bed surface and the trench depth is 5-7 cm. Place the sprouts with the eyes facing upwards in the trench, approximately 1-2 sections every 15-17 cm. Then cover with a layer of soil so that it is level with the surface of the bed and compact the soil slightly.

3. Post-planting maintenance

Water immediately after planting and cover with grass to keep warm and moisturize, and then remove the grass after seedlings emerge.
