- pits are dug on the site for seedlings, their depth should be 60 cm;
- there should be a distance of 2-2.5 m between plantings, and 3 m in row spacings;
- the seedlings on the day of planting must be kept for 3-4 hours in a container with settled, warm water, and the rhizomes must be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate.
