Transplanting

Transplanting is the process of moving a plant from one location to another, whether within the same garden or to a completely new site. This maintenance task is often done to reposition plants for better sunlight, soil conditions, or aesthetic reasons. It can also be necessary when plants outgrow their space or when redesigning a garden. Transplanting involves carefully digging up the plant, ensuring that as much of the root system as possible is preserved, and then replanting it in a prepared hole with appropriate soil amendments. After transplanting, the plant requires regular watering and care to help it establish in its new location. Proper transplanting techniques are crucial for minimizing transplant shock, promoting healthy growth, and ensuring the long-term success of the plant in its new setting.
