  2. Add compost prepared in the trench and surroundings, so that the primrose is well fertilized, it must remain moist so that the remains of wood, known as sawdust, in the surroundings of the trench can be useful to them.
  3. If the plant has been in the pot for a long time, it may be a bit more complicated to remove it from it, so insert your fingers to loosen the soil a little, turn the pot, hit the sides, and the bottom, once everything has loosened, take the primrose very carefully, wet the tips of its roots, and insert it into the trench, which you had previously dug.
  4. The primrose should not be deeper than it was in the pot, the height should be proportional, if the trench is deeper, first fill it with a little soil, so that you can level it.
