Relocating Plants Instead Of Growing Cycads

By Gary Richardson


For many people having plants in their compound is very important as they add the visual appeal of their home. The main ways of adding plants to the home are planting seeds or cuttings and the alternative as relocating them. Relocating is more convenient than Growing Cycads as it allows conservation as well as commercial use other than taking a shorter time.

The first stage of relocating the plant is through cutting the older leaves that are often at the bottom of the tree. This is done to reduce the effort on the root as it recovers from the move to supply the necessary nutrients to the rest of the plant. The directional orientation of the leaves is also identified through tagging the direction of some leaves so as to set them appropriately when moved.

The mover is then required to measure the caudex which is an essential part of the tree that stores water. The diameter of the caudex is them multiplied either 3 or 4 times to come up with the diameter for the hole to be dug around the tree. The same 3 to 4 larger diameters is also used in getting the depth of the hole dug to remove the roots of the tree.

After the holes are dug appropriately, the process of removing the tree is simpler as it only needs to be pulled. Extra caution is considered while removing the roots to ensure that they are damaged to a minimal extent. This is because, the more the damage, the more the time they will require. The extra weight of the tree in the form of soil on the roots is removed through hosing the roots.

On removing the roots and hosing off the extra soil, the person relocating the plant needs to check the condition of all roots for any extensive damage. During the check, they should also cut out the ragged roots attached to the root ball but are outside it. The roots are then treated with fungicide and rooting hormone so as to ensure they are not affected by pests or end up rotting.

On removing the trees, a machine needs to be used to place it on a vehicle which will transport it to the desired location either for boxing or plotting as well as relocating. When moving, especially to relocate, the movers need to have come up with a new location for the plant before the move. If it is a cycad plant, a well-drained sloppy area will be appropriate.

To place the tree back into the soil in a new area, the root ball offers directions on the size of the hole dug. That is the diameter and deepness of the hole dug for the plant should be one and a half more diameter than that of a root ball diameter. After the hole is dug, it is placed in the hole while considering the directional orientation marked earlier on to reduce strain on the plant.

On placing in the trees, an earth trench should be dug around it in which 5 gallons of water with rooting hormone is placed which should last for 2-3 weeks. The resulting first leaves may not be similar to that while in the old location, but they will get better with the next season.
