• Row spacing: 3–4 ft (90–120 cm)
• Plant spacing: 1–2 ft (30–60 cm) Earthing Up (Hilling) As plants grow taller, pull soil around the base 2–3 times during the season to create a stable mound and support thicker, stronger canes. ⸻ 🌿 Container Growing
• 5–7 gallon pot for 2-4 plants • Full sun, rich soil, keep evenly moist ⸻ ❄️ Winter Care • Warm climates: leave outdoors • Light frost: mulch or cover
• Freezing areas: move pots indoors or save cuttings for spring
