Now is a very good time to transplant conifers. Indeed, despite the rather widespread belief that any coniferous plants can be transplanted only in the fall, in the spring it is also possible and even necessary to "relocate" them. The main thing is to have time to do this before the onset of hot days and try to avoid mistakes when transplanting. I want to share with you the most information about the most common mistakes and how to avoid them
The first mistake - discrepancy between the size of the planting hole and the size of the earthy coma around the roots of the plant, as well as a very small hole that is not suitable for planting the plant.
Before digging a planting hole, measure, at least approximately, an earthen lump that hides the roots of a coniferous plant. It should be slightly smaller than the hole, the palm of an adult should fit between it and the walls of the hole, and the root neck of the coniferous pet should be at the level of the soil surface. After installing the plant together with the lump in the planting hole, the free space is covered with special soil suitable for a particular plant.
The second error - violation of the integrity of the earthen coma around the root system of a coniferous plant. Conifers really do not like it when their root system is disturbed, they can hurt for a long time or even die, so transplant the plant along with an earthen clod around the roots. Try to carry out the planting procedure carefully, without disturbing the integrity of the soil, so as not to damage the horses and prevent them from drying out.
For better preservation of the earthen coma around the roots when transplanting from one place to another on the site or when transplanting from a pot, container or other container, the plant must be thoroughly watered on the eve of transplantation. Then, after the coniferous is dug out or removed from the temporary container, it is advisable to quickly and carefully pack the earthen lump around the root system with matting, thick paper, burlap or any other material and wrap it with twine to avoid shedding the soil. You need to remove the "packaging" after you set the plant in the planting hole. By the way, paper, burlap and other natural wrapping materials can not be removed, the main thing is to remove the winding twine and artificial materials, since natural materials will rot in the soil over time. But to clean it up or not is up to you.
Error three - covering the root collar of the planted plant with soil. This mistake can lead to the death of the plant. If you accidentally covered the root collar of a coniferous plant with earth when planting, then open it as soon as possible. If for some reason this cannot be done, then at least build an air drainage system. It is not difficult: you just need to make several trenches in the area of the root system and fill them with large rubble. Then cover the crushed stone with soil, having previously brought out pipes to the surface, through which air from the surface will flow into the drainage trenches, respectively, thus, the roots will always have access to air at the surface of the earth.
And probably
the most common mistake - this is non-compliance with the requirements of each type of coniferous plants to the conditions of planting, the choice of location and care for them. Therefore, before planting a conifer in a new place, carefully study what this plant loves and what does not, and in accordance with this, choose a planting site, soil and watering frequency.
For example, spruce trees like shaded areas, while variegated cypresses, junipers and larch trees thrive in the sun. Juniper Virginsky loves clay soils, and Siberian juniper loves sandy soils. All this must be taken into account! Your "coniferous pet", subject to certain rules, will grow faster, get sick less and delight you with its greenery and beauty.
