The crown is the point where the leaf stems begin upwards and the roots downwards. It is white. If the crown is buried, the plant may rot at the base of the leaves. Redchigh's method is excellent to avoid this; the little pull upwards after planting just to the point where the crown is out of the gravel/sand is good.
