Houseplants: Can ship to California and Arizona. How to PlantSTEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
To help crape myrtles retain water, mulch with organic matter 2-3 inches deep, making sure to keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk. Water regularly until established. Remove dead branches any time and prune weak branches back in the late winter in order to encourage a strong and productive tree. Use a balancedNPK to fertilize in spring.

Reviews for "Sinister Magic Crape Myrtle: A Botanical Enigma"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I was really excited about planting the Sinister Magic Crape Myrtle in my garden, but I was left disappointed. The plant did not grow as tall or full as expected, and the flowers were much smaller and less vibrant than advertised. I followed all the recommended care instructions, but still, the plant seemed sluggish and never reached its full potential. I would not recommend this particular crape myrtle to others.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I have to say I was extremely let down by the Sinister Magic Crape Myrtle. The plant arrived in poor condition, with dry and wilted leaves. I tried to revive it, but it just continued to decline. The flowers it produced were sparse and lackluster. I reached out to customer service for assistance, but their response was slow and unhelpful. I would not purchase this plant again.
3. David - 2/5 stars - The Sinister Magic Crape Myrtle did not live up to my expectations. Despite ample sunlight and regular watering, the plant never thrived. The leaves turned yellow and dropped prematurely, and the flowers were not as vibrant as I had hoped. I tried adjusting the soil pH and providing additional nutrients, but nothing seemed to make a difference. It was a letdown considering the price I paid for this particular crape myrtle variety. I would advise others to seek out different options.
