You can start them from seed, but the results happen faster if you install a few established plants.

"Usually, you don't have to water such established plants," she said.

Meanwhile, let all the established plants settle down for winter at their own pace.

The established plants may be hundreds of years old, although they extend only a few inches above the surface.

They may sift open bottom areas, but are unlikely to uproot established plants.

These plantlets will, if cared for properly, eventually become established plants.

The established regenerated plants will then be transferred to the greenhouse, and finally to the field for further evaluation.

However, as the seedlings grow into established plants, they are likely to compete with their former benefactors for resources.

Both adults and larvae prefer young plant shoots or areas of new growth on established plants.

New shoots will grow for some time from the base of an established plant.
