I think I planted them too deep. I want to raise the compost level in the container and move my already planted nerines higher so they are near the top of the container. Will this be ok as I&#8217;ve read they do not like being disturbed.<\/p>\n<p>2. How far apart should I be planting them in the containers?<\/p>\n<p>3. What compost do they prefer and should I feed them and if so with what and when.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"hubmaster_faq_answer\">Hi Karen<\/p>\n<p>Yes you&#8217;re right, Nerines don&#8217;t like to be disturbed and this can unsettle them. However, this is when they are thriving. If they are planted too shallowly then yes I would be inclined to raise them. Nerines need to be planted with their necks above ground.<\/p>\n<p>I would suggest using a mixture of 50% multipurpose compost and 50% loam-based compost such as John Innes No.2. You can give your Nerines a feed of diluted tomarite to help them on their way once you see signs of growth.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Karen<\/p>\n<p>Yes you&#8217;re right, Nerines don&#8217;t like to be disturbed and this can unsettle.. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/help-with-nerines\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[232],"class_list":["post-8687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faq","tag-faq"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/nerine-Bowedenii-375-x-500.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8687"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8702,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8687\/revisions\/8702"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
