Things You'll Need
Shovel
Bloom-enhancing fertilizer
Compost
Remove damaged limbs, foliage and faded blossoms from the plant.
Dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the pot the plant came in.
Add enough compost to the hole to bring the morning glory to the same level it was in its pot. It is helpful to make a small hill of compost in the center of the hole. This hill helps to keep the plant level while you backfill soil.
Place the roots in the hole. Spread the roots outward and then down around the hill of compost.
Backfill the planting hole carefully with a mixture of soil and compost.
Water the plant. Fully saturate the soil. Packing the soil gently with your foot is helpful to release large air pockets.
