Those Things about Transplanting Living Stone Plant
This article introduces the knowledge of living stone plant, a type of succulent plant, focusing on the issues related to transplanting. Next, let me give you a detailed explanation.
When it comes to transplanting living stone plants, many hobbyists have a lot of confusion, such as how to transplant them and when to do it. Although these seem like simple questions, it is necessary for hobbyists to understand them. This article will take you through the ins and outs of transplanting living stone plants.
1. Timing for Transplanting Living Stone Plants
If the living stone plants are grown from seeds, it's best not to transplant them within two years of播种. However, it is necessary to control the density. The best is to plant 50 seeds in a 10cm square pot, with a germination rate of 70-80%, and 30-40 seedlings in a full pot. After two years, the seedlings can grow to 1.5-1.8cm. Each transplant can be done every 2-3 years. After the plants have flowered and divided, a second transplant can be carried out. At this point, the living stone plants have matured and should be planted individually.
If transplanting mature seedlings, it can be done at any time of the year. This is not an exaggeration; even during dormancy, transplanting can be carried out. If you're more cautious, you can choose to transplant in spring, around March to April, when the old skin peels off into a thin papery layer.
2. Do You Need to Trim the Roots When Transplanting?
When transplanting, you'll find that the roots of living stone plants are quite long. To facilitate the operation, you can trim the roots to 1-2 inches or 0.5-1 inch. This ensures that the roots won't bend when planted.
4. What if the Roots Fall Off?
If all the roots are lost during transplanting, it's fine as long as the growth point is intact; new roots will quickly grow.
5. Wet Soil Dry Planting or Dry Soil Wet Planting?
It doesn't matter whether you use dry or wet soil for planting because during the peeling period it is relatively dry. After planting, you need to water to promote root growth, so either dry or wet soil is fine.
The above is a specific introduction to those things about transplanting living stone plants, hoping to bring some floral knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
