Help with moving perennials
Hi Faye,
Make sure to dig up all or most of the root ball and place in a plastic bag and tie it up so it doesn't lose any moisture. Leaving the plants in the plastic bags is okay for a day or two as long as the roots don't dry out. If you can't plant right away and notice the roots drying out spritz them. If you can't plant them for a while it might be a good idea to poke holes in the bags and water accordingly. My father who lives in Hawaii (where it's pratically summer long year long) moves specimen trees for his bonsai this way. The important thing is to keep the root ball moist and not let it dry out during the move. Hope this helps, Layne On Sun, 1 Aug 2004 07:09:12 -0400, "FayeC" wrote: snip The thing is.....I never transplanted any perennial before. At least not my own I mean so I have no clue of what to do to ensure both the root ball that is staying and the one that is going live through it. snip |
