- 1). Prune back all stems to 1 foot or less. The added weight of long stems can put stress on the supporting roots.
- 2). Insulate the trunk or "crown" of the bush with peat moss or mulch to keep sudden weather and temperature changes from effecting the roots.
- 3). Water regularly, but avoid using any fertilizer for several weeks, which can burn the roots, especially if they have been planted in new soil.
