Steps and Principles of Planting Seedlings:
1. Prepare the purchased.
It is necessary to prepare these young trees to enter the garden the day before planting seedlings. The day before planting, take out the roots of the seedlings from the plastic bags around them and place the entire root part in water. This action is for the purpose that the root absorbs enough water and when it enters the soil, it is not wasted due to the large difference in osmotic potential with the soil.
2. The depth of the pits should be determined to the depth of the root.
When you are going to plant the seedling, you must first find the place of the collar. This point is the place where the root joins the shoot, so you will be able to calculate the depth of the root by finding the collar. Now you need to prepare the holes. A very important point in planting seedlings is that the depth of the hole is exactly equal to the depth of the root and its width is 2-3 times the width of the root. Note that if the seedling depth is too deep, it will not be able to produce new roots and as a result, the roots will also die due to lack of oxygen. It can be safely said that the most important step in planting seedlings is determining the depth of the hole.
3. Adjust the planting of the seedlings.
At the time of planting, ask someone to hold the seedling for you so that it is completely flat and perpendicular to the ground. After that, start filling the pit. After the hole is filled, the seedling should not be moved because the roots will be damaged.
4. Do the pit filling gradually.
Do not fill the pit at once to plant seedlings. Do the soiling slowly and hit the soil every time to remove excess air. This action is done in order to prevent the presence of excess air from drying the roots.
5. Do the mulch at the foot of the pit
We recommend that after planting saplings, you must put a little mulch at the feet of the trees to protect the roots from extreme temperature changes, prevent water evaporation, and ultimately prevent the growth of weeds. Note that the depth of mulching at the foot of the pits should not exceed 10 cm, otherwise the roots will lack oxygen.
