Instruction
1. Wait for right moment. The best time for change of coniferous plants – the period since the end of September until the beginning of October. It is necessary to be in time to the first frosts that the thuja could grow the necessary quantity of new small backs. Change and after descent of snow is admissible in the early spring, but it is necessary to carry out it prior to vegetation, otherwise the plant can ache.
2. For change you will choose the most favorable site protected from wind. The thuja well grows on any soil on solar places and in half-shade, and here the full shadow has pernicious effect on health of plant, its krone can thin.
3. Prepare landing hole in 15 days prior to change. Its size has to be one quarter more than the size of earth lump of thuja and sapling kroner are three times wider. On average depth should not exceed half a meter. It is one bottom better to outline gravel in order to avoid stagnation of water.
4. Dig round plant around, then dig out tree and, not obtryakhivy, carefully move on the new place. Keep earth lump when you dig out thuja. Its root system compact, well developed, but surface therefore without feed the backs will die off in the shortest possible time. If you carry tree from far away, burlap with which roots tie should not be removed – the thuja is planted in hole directly with it. Material will break up within two years.
5. Too long roots are admissible to be chopped off the most sharp tool or secateurs. After cutting process places of cuts the putty mixed with heteroauxin solution – it prevents reproduction of parasitic fungi.
6. Before planting tree, it is abundant water hole. As landing soil use earth mix from peat, the cespitose earth and sand in the ratio 2:1:1 with addition of humus and the coniferous debris mixed in equal proportions. It is in addition desirable to add phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Try that fertilizer has not got directly on root.
7. Do not bury root neck when landing, but also do not leave it too highly. At the end of the procedure condense soil around trunk and water tree. If you replace thuja till fall, by all means cover pristvolny area with spill or compost, avoiding direct contact with trunk.
8. The month following after landing water thuja of times a week and irrigate its krone. For the winter cover plant and connect branches by twine that they have not broken under weight of snow.
