Woody plants used in green areas are planted at different times. The planting period depends on the physiological condition of the plant and the prevailing or anticipated weather and soil conditions.. It is also often taken into account whether in the event of unfavorable weather conditions it will be possible to create appropriate conditions artificially, for example, by watering, shading.
Plant states and external conditions, which should be taken into account when choosing a planting time., are presented in the tables below:
Plant conditions favoring transplanting:
– rest
– root system not reduced
– no leaves
– sufficient water saturation
– the aboveground part reduced in relation to the root system or other protection against water loss,
The conditions of the plant are not conducive to transplanting:
- ongoing vegetation
- reduced root system
- foliage
- general overdrying
- the above-ground part disproportionately large in relation to the root system,
External conditions favorable to replanting:
- moderate air and soil temperature
- shading
- high air humidity
- sufficient soil moisture
- windless weather,
External conditions not conducive to transplanting:
- high air and soil temperature
- direct sunlight
- no moisture in the air
- too dry or excessively moist soil
- winds,
The presented plant states and favorable and unfavorable conditions for transplanting apply not only to woody plants, but also many others.
