Question
Can I bury it some,or will it rot the base of plant? I just gave it a new pot because the plant had been damaged some. It is well over 20 years old and went through a few bad years.was in the same pot to long, the soil lost all nutrients possibly. I need to make it happy again in a new pot and soil.

Answer
Kim,

I apologize for the delay in answering you, I have been having computer issues. I believe you can, but make sure you use a very porous soil (one that drains very quickly). I don't think I would plant it more than an inch or two deeper.

Sincerely,

Greg
