hi
Firstly decide where you want to grow Ur rat-ki-rani. In your garden soil or in a pot. Better you go for garden. A healthy plant obtained from some reliable source , with good root system will pose no problem if you take care of proper watering and shade in early stage. After its establishment (you notice new leaves) it is quite easy to maintain.
Dig a pit at least 1ft deep and .05 feet wide, fill it with top garden soil:sand:FYM/Compost::1:1:1. u can add a hand full of any mix fertilizer(NPK) available to you and few granuels of Temit 3G if termite is a problem . Mix well all these content and fill the pit or pot if so. Water the pit and leave for one day . Next day dig a hole in middle of pit and care fully put the well rooted plant without disturbing its roots. press firmly to remove any air pockets and water lightly.
you can add some FYM yearly before rains and do pruning to keep ur plant in good bloom
Happy Gardening!
