Planting Alstroemeria
You will want to plant alstroemeria in direct sunlight that has soil that drains easily. These plants need a lot of sun, but they also can't have soil that stays very damp for long periods of time. When you place the plants into the ground only dig a hole big enough so it fits the plant perfectly, so how ever big the plant container size is should be how deep you plant it.
For the placement of the plants ensure that they are approximately one foot apart so that it allows the opportunity for growth. You should also consider placing mulch around them but avoid placing it on top and also use approximately three inches of compost that is organic for better growth.
Your alstroemeria is now in the ground so it is time to give it a good drink of water. Water them until the soil is entirely moist but don't drown them or you could prevent further growth to occur.
