Best Answer

Dig a hole deep enough to bury the bottom 2 or 3 sets of leaves - or whatever it takes to have only the top flush of leaves and a few inches of stem above the soil. This allows the plant to develop a sturdy root support system which stabilizes it and allows more nutrient uptake for sturdy and fast-growing plants.
