Process of transplanting

1. TRANSPLANTING

2. DEFINITION Transplanting Transplanting or replanting is the technique of moving a plant from one location to another Normally, plants are started from seeds (in optimal conditions) and then transplanted outdoors

3. DEFINITION Three-step Process Transplantation can be divided into three main stages, these are: Planning Transplanting Aftercare

4. DEFINITION The Planning Process The planning phase has three steps that considers the following: Timing Hardening off Soil Preparation

5. DEFINITION The Planning Process Timing when to transplant depends on your specific seedlings and climate. Generally, wait until seedlings have their second set of true leaves (not counting the cotyledons), and aim for a warm, overcast day to minimize stress

6. TRANSPLANTING The Planning Process

7. DEFINITION The Planning Process Hardening off means that if the seedlings were started indoors, gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions for a week or two before transplanting

8. DEFINITION The Planning Process Soil preparation requires you to choose a well-draining soil amended with organic matter like compost

9. DEFINITION The Planning Process

10. DEFINITION The Transplanting Process The transplanting phase has four steps that considers the following: Gently remove the seedling Dig a hole Backfill the hole Water

11. DEFINITION The Transplanting Process Gently remove the seedling requires you to squeeze the pot gently and tip it upside down while supporting the soil and stem Avoid tugging on the stem

12. DEFINITION The Transplanting Process Dig a hole slightly larger and deeper than the root ball and place the seedling at the same depth it was growing in the pot (avoid burying the stem)

13. DEFINITION The Transplanting Process Backfill the hole and gently firm the soil around the base of the plant but don't compact the soil too much

14. DEFINITION The Transplanting Process Water thoroughly and soak the soil well to settle it around the roots and eliminate excessive air pockets

15. DEFINITION The Aftercare Process The aftercare phase has three steps that considers the following: Protect Water Monitor

16. DEFINITION The Aftercare Process Protect from harsh sun and animals since newly transplanted seedlings may need shade for a few days until they establish themselves

17. DEFINITION The Aftercare Process Water regularly in order to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering

18. DEFINITION The Aftercare Process Monitor for signs of stress such as wilting, yellowing leaves, or stunted growth could indicate transplant shock
