Planting

Before planting, prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure to enhance fertility and improve drainage. Clear the area of any weeds or debris. Dig a hole that is slightly larger and deeper than the root ball of the Ribes alpinum plant. Make sure the hole is deep enough to accommodate the roots without bending or crowding. Carefully remove the plant from its container and place it in the center of the hole. Ensure that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Fill the hole with soil, gently compacting it around the base of the plant to eliminate any air pockets. Thoroughly water the newly planted Ribes alpinum to settle the soil and provide moisture to the roots. Maintain consistent soil moisture.
