How to plant elm trees dug in the wild and how to have a high survival rate

Article Catalog

On cloudy days or light rain in winter and spring, the plants enter the dormant period and are dug and potted, which can improve the survival rate of the stumps after transplanting. After digging, it needs to be planted in wet sand or planted in a tile pot for pile maintenance. Prune dead roots, diseased roots, and diseased weak branches, and then seal the incisions with wax, or apply a layer of erythromycin ointment and sprinkle with fine sand to allow the plant to heal. After planting, cover with soil and compact it to allow the plants to resume growth. You can water it with root water in about 3-5 days.

1. How to plant

1. Excavation time: Selecting the dormant period of winter and spring for excavation and potting can improve the survival rate of tree stumps after transplantation. It should be noted that it is best to dig on cloudy days or when there is light rain, which will help the tree stumps survive.

2. Plant in pots: After digging, they need to be planted in wet sand or planted in tile pots for staking. Before planting, prune dead roots, diseased roots, and diseased and weak branches, and then seal the incisions with wax, or apply a layer of erythromycin ointment and sprinkle with fine sand to allow the plants to heal. After planting, cover with soil and compact it to allow the plants to resume growth. You can water it with root water in about 3-5 days.

2. Maintenance methods

1 .Lighting: It needs proper shade and should be placed in a cool and humid place for maintenance. The roots of the plant are still in the recovery period and cannot fully absorb water, so they cannot accept sunlight exposure and direct sunlight.

2. Watering: within 3-5 days after planting Watering is not allowed. Because the roots cannot fully absorb the water in the soil, too much water in the pot will cause a burden on the roots. Moisturizing measures can be taken in advance, wrapping the plants with plastic film, or spraying water on the leaves and branches of the plants to reduce water evaporation. Water again after 3-5 days.
