What is the safest way to replant a plant?
Replanting plants is perhaps one of the main tests in their life. The main danger is that during conventional transplantation a large number of suction root hairs are damaged, and they are responsible for the power and performance of the lower end pump of plants. That is, simply put, with the loss of root hairs, the suction power of the roots is sharply lost, as a result of which the plants lose turgor, wilting, falling of leaves and flowers, and in some cases, complete drying out. It’s clear that no one would wish such a fate for their seedlings and seedlings!
Pots to the rescue. Currently, many ways have been invented to reduce trauma to roots when transplanting plants. Among them is the use of disposable pots - plastic or peat. After use, plastic ones are deformed and thrown away, which contributes to the pollution of the planet... It is better to give preference to peat ones - they not only completely quickly decompose in the soil, but also help improve its structure. As a rule, plants end up in such pots at a very young age and easily tolerate replanting. Seedlings in peat pots are simply planted in prepared holes, having previously damaged the walls of the pots, and watered abundantly. Fruit tree seedlings and seedlings grown in the “communal” conditions of one box require a special approach when transplanting.
A special approach.When replanting, you should try to transfer the plants with a lump of earth on the roots - this way, some of the root hairs are preserved and survival is improved. But sometimes our seedlings are deprived of even this luxury. Well, since it was not possible to save, we must contribute to restoration! You can soak the root system of plants in a solution of a phytohormone - heteroauxin, or you can use a complex preparation - KorneSil. This is exactly what I did when I found myself with several dozen beautiful pepper plants... completely devoid of protective clods of earth on the roots. I admit, at first I arrogantly planted peppers directly into the ground, watering them abundantly, but I soon realized the futility of my attempts. The pepper died - it was clear that the problem was in the roots: the plants lacked turgor.
Saved by KorneSil. I placed the next batch of plants with their roots in a solution of KorneSil, this miraculous drug. Its smell is a little off-putting, but the plants clearly liked the soup! During the two days spent in the saving solution, my peppers did not wilt at all, they only shed a few leaves and buds. But you can’t keep the plants like this forever, and two days later I planted the peppers in the soil. The peppers in the neighborhood were in distress because they had not been soaked in CorneSil, and if they could, they would have been jealous of their fellows who had experienced the restorative effects of the drug. Almost all the plants took root after KorneSil and within a few days were pleased with new flowers and buds, and soon began to bloom. The drug lives up to its name 100%; it gives strength to plant roots and restores them after damage.The natural components that make up KorneSil help plants better survive drought and cold snaps, protect against all kinds of diseases, and stimulate growth. Now the rescued plants are already bearing fruit, and I say “thank you” to KorneSil!
