When is the best time to transplant Trumpet Creeper?

When transplanting trumpet creeper, you must choose the right time. From the perspective of growth habits, it is best to do it in spring and autumn every year. In addition, trumpet creeper does not have very high requirements for soil and likes to grow in relatively breathable soil with appropriate humidity. At the same time, because trumpet creeper likes to grow in a breathable environment, you should choose a relatively breathable one when choosing a flowerpot.

Transplanting time of trumpet creeper

Generally, the trumpet creeper is transplanted in late autumn or early spring. Spring comes after winter, so the early spring plants may have just thawed, and the trumpet creeper has not yet sprouted, and the transpiration is not very strong. Therefore, the temperature and humidity of the soil are suitable for the trumpet creeper at this time, so if you transplant it before the trumpet creeper sprouts, the survival rate is very high.

How to transplant trumpet creeper

1. Soil selection

Although the trumpet creeper has no special requirements for the soil, the soil we use when transplanting should be breathable, drainable, and fertile. Because soil that is too sticky is not conducive to drainage and has poor air permeability, this will prevent the roots of the trumpet creeper from breathing normally and it is easy to cause root rot. After preparing the soil, it is best to disinfect it to avoid residual bacteria and insect eggs.

2. Flowerpot selection

When we transplant the trumpet creeper, we must choose a suitable flowerpot. It is best if the flowerpot has good air permeability. Generally, common clay pots and ceramic pots are very suitable. Moreover, the flowerpot should be larger than the previous old flowerpot. This can give the trumpet creeper more space for the roots to grow better, which is beneficial to the growth of the trumpet creeper plant.

Management of Trumpet Creeper after Transplantation

1. Transplanting and pruning

It is best to transplant Trumpet Creeper in early spring every year. When transplanting, pay attention to proper pruning of the plant, keep the main trunk about 30-40 cm, and properly prune the residual roots, old roots and fine roots at the root to provide guarantee for healthy growth after transplanting.

2. Build the scaffold

Linghuahua is a kind of fat drum plant. When the plant grows to a certain height, it needs branches to assist the main trunk in climbing. Therefore, when transplanting, pay attention to building a support around the new box soil to prevent the plant from lodging when it grows too high.
