Re: Protecting the stem

Dian,
It should be OK. I've buried the stem myself and came out with a nice plant in the long run. It may be stunted for a little while. Start with some high phosphorus water soluble 15-30-15 like miracle grow for a couple weeks then switch to 20-20-20, Peter's plant food you can get at commercial stores to build it up. Another thing you can do is actually prop up a spindly plant with a popsicle stick etc.

I'm new, and I had a similar circumstance to start with; the poor thing had been in a peat pot so long, it had literally fallen over and was laying over three other pots. So when I planted it, I made the hill extra big and buried it up to it's leaves. No stem visible for the sun to dry out. So far as I know it seems to have worked, at least the plant is growing fine for now.
