When is the best time to transplant Podocarpus?

When transplanting Podocarpus, you need to dig a hole larger than the diameter of the soil ball, with a depth of more than 15cm and a diameter of more than 60cm. This will ensure that the soil ball can be better implanted, improve air permeability and water retention, and allow the transplanted Podocarpus to grow better.

Podocarpus transplanting time

Generally speaking, the best time to transplant Podocarpus is in March or April every spring. In order to increase the survival rate after transplanting, it is best to transplant it in the morning or evening when the temperature is relatively low.

Podocarpus transplanting method

When transplanting Podocarpus, it is necessary to trim the damaged and rotten parts of the seedlings to avoid affecting their normal growth. After the treatment, it is necessary to apply carbendazim solution to the wound for sterilization and disinfection. It can also promote wound healing and prevent infection from bacteria and viruses in the air.

Management of Podocarpus after transplanting

1. After transplanting Podocarpus, its roots need a certain amount of time to adapt to the new soil. At this time, it is best to place the plant in a diffuse light environment for maintenance. When planting in the ground, you can build a sunshade for it to help Podocarpus resume its growth.

2. It is best not to water the Podocarpus immediately after transplanting. At this time, the roots of the plant are relatively weak and it is difficult to absorb water, which makes it easy for water to accumulate and cause root rot. You can water it 3 days after transplanting until it is half-permeable.
