To properly plant Prunus laurocerasus 'Otto Luyken', begin by loosening the soil and incorporating organic matter, such as compost, to enhance drainage and fertility. Then, dig a hole that is slightly wider and as deep as the plant's root ball, ensuring ample space for the roots without overcrowding. Carefully remove the plant from its container, being mindful not to disturb the roots too much. Place the plant in the center of the hole, ensuring it is at the same depth as in the container. As you fill the hole with soil, gently tamp it down to remove any air pockets. After planting, thoroughly water the cherry laurel to settle the soil and encourage root development. During the plant's first growing season, maintain consistently moist soil without overwatering.
