How to plant elm trees dug from the wild and how to achieve a high survival rate

1. How to plant

1. Digging time: Choose the dormant period of the plant in winter or spring to dig and pot, which can increase the survival rate of the tree stump after transplanting. It should be noted that it is best to dig on a cloudy day or when it is drizzling, which is conducive to the survival of the tree stump.

2. Planting in pots: After digging out, you need to plant it in wet sandy soil or in a clay pot for growth. Before planting, prune dead roots, diseased roots and weak branches, then seal the cut with wax, or apply a layer of erythromycin ointment and sprinkle with fine sand to allow the plant to heal. After planting, cover the soil and compact it to allow the plant to resume growth. You can water it after 3-5 days to help it take root.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Light: It needs appropriate shade and should be placed in a cool and humid place for maintenance. The roots of the plant are still in the recovery period and cannot fully absorb water, so they cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Watering: Do not water within 3-5 days after planting. Because the roots cannot fully absorb moisture from the soil, too much water in the pot will cause a burden on the roots. You can take moisturizing measures in advance, wrap the plants with plastic film, or spray water on the leaves and branches of the plants to reduce water evaporation. Water thoroughly again after 3-5 days.
