Transplant plants can be daunting for any beginner; However, if you follow these ten steps, you'll see that it is not so difficult to do.
1. before you even go to the nursery to buy your plants, search the area where you want to do the transplant and answer the following questions: which part of your garden is bleak? That part is sunny? Where do you get the wind less? more wind? What is your plant hardiness zone? (If you don't know, check the robustness of plant that can usually be found in a nursery). What type of soil you have? How much space is available for the plants grow?
Getting answers to these questions will help you make better choices when purchasing plants
2. When you get to kindergarten, buy only healthy plants. Choose young plants that have strong stem robust, deep green foliage and lush white roots. Avoid plants whose roots are Brown and mushy, are growing out of the bottom of the pot or are stuck to the container.
3. Transplantation annuals and tender plants and vegetables only after the nights are frost free, the soil temperature is at least 15 degrees c for annuals and perennials and some 20 degrees c for some vegetables. Remember that these plants were in a warmer environment. to fulfill them in cold soil may shock the roots and slow plant growth.
If possible, when the sky is overcast, even better if there is rain in the forecast. If the climate is hot and sunny, making the transplant early in the morning or after 6 o'clock in the evening when the air is cooler for your plants not being unduly stressed.
4. Once you get your home plans, keep them moist. In addition, water your plants for an hour or more before the transplant to the soil around the root ball is not going to fall apart when you pull the plant container.
5. When digging the hole for your plant, dig deep and wide. The rule is digging the hole deeper twice and 2 1/2 times the width of its root ball. If you have poor soil, mix in a good amount of compost or mix 3-in-1 and/or soil quality. Reuse sod as composed by turning them upside down and layered them at the bottom of the hole.
6. check the drainage from its soil. If your soil holds water very well or if your soil drains poorly, both problems can be corrected by adding compost to the soil at the bottom of the hole. You want the root ball to take the humidity, not mud, then be careful; Just add a little water in a time not to Add too much water.
7. shortly before a plant, note how deeply the root ball is buried while still in the container of transplantation. You need to know to step 8.
Now that you know how much soil should end up being about the root ball, and the plant is nice and moist, you're ready to plant in the soil of transplants.
While gently holding the container in his left hand, turn it to the side and gently tap on the bottom of the container with the right hand to force the plant to start running out of the container. Don't hit too much, because you don't want your plant to go flying out the container.
Then with one hand, tip the container even more while extending the hand to grab the root ball. If he doesn't come easily out of the container, carefully pull the container plant; then check the root system. While being sure to keep the root ball shaded direct sun, take the time to loosen up the bottom of the roots that have gone round their plant. You can use a knife, screwdriver or simply your fingers.
8. the position of top of the root into the hole for about the same depth below surface level as it was in the container. This is especially important if you're transplanting shrubs or trees. If you plant the root of a shrub or small tree too deeply, you will not be able to breathe, and it will die.
Keeping the stable root ball with one hand, use your other hand to add the soil under and even the root ball until its root ball can easily rest without deposit. The top of the root must not be greater than the surface level and, depending on the plant, not far below the level.
Once you have added to the soil and around the bottom of the root, tamp it down gently with your hands to remove air bubbles and then add water. Continue adding one little soil and water until the root ball is safely surrounded and covered. Remember to tamp the soil as you add the different layers of soil to air pockets can be eliminated.
9. Reduce transplant shock, adding a mixture of transplantation that is generally rich in phosphorus (1-5-1 = high average number) your water.
10. After you finish the transplant procedure, make sure that each plant is sufficiently moist so that roots may solve. Furthermore, for at least two weeks, keep watering the plants recently transplanted with frequency. Then you can begin weaning them off this frequent watering and start using the deep root irrigation system. After all, you want the roots go deeper down rather than up toward the surface looking for moisture.
Now that you are finished with the transplant, sit back and enjoy your new garden.
