When to transplant cedar

It is best to transplant cedar during its dormant period, which is around early spring or late autumn. The editor recommends that you transplant the cedar about one month after its first summer growth stops.

Treatment of cedar before transplanting

The cedar tree body must be properly prepared before transplanting. Cedar generally does not require pruning before transplanting. After successful transplanting, broken cedar branches, overly dense cedar branches, and cedar branches with diseases and insects should be cut off. Apply a plant wound healing agent after cutting these cedar branches. At the same time, spray some water transpiration inhibitors on the pruned cedar, which can reduce the water loss of the cedar during the transplanting process.

How to transplant cedar

When digging cedar, you must first remove the soil on the surface of the cedar, and then continue digging downwards. If you encounter thick roots during the excavation process, you should saw off the thick ones and then flatten the roots. Dig out the cedar that needs to be transplanted, and be sure to protect the root system. After the cedar is transplanted, it should be watered three times. The first time you water it, be careful not to use too much water and water it slowly. The second time of watering should be done within three days after transplanting, and the third time of watering should be done within a week. The water for the cedar should be sufficient during these two times.
