Botany
English term or phrase: Now set your plants in this pattern, repeating it over and over again
This is a tip on how to set out bedding plants and ground covers.

When setting out a large number of bedding plants or ground covers, be sure to stagger the plants in the bed following a grid-type pattern. This way, the planting will look more uniform and will fill out your planting bed more evenly. To form a grid pattern, envision a five on a dice. Now set your plants in this pattern, repeating it over and over again.

I know what the last sentence means but I can't think of any translation for it that makes it sound right.

Does someone have a suggestion?
