How To Relocate Other Than 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.

Afterwards, the diameter of the caudex is measured. The digit is usually very important as it determines the depth and diameter of the hole dug to remove the tree. The caudex diameter is added 3 or 4 times to acquire a diameter in which the hole around the tree is to be dug, as well as the diameter of the hole to be dug underground. The caudex is mainly used to store water.

After digging, the trees are then easier to pull out from the soil. When moving the tree, the main factor guiding the operation is to maintain a large fraction of the root mass so as to reduce the recovery period they need on relocation. However, the tree will require having all the extra weight removed. An example of such weight includes the extra soil clinging to the roots which is removed through hosing.

After pulling out the trees, a close examination of all roots should be carried out. This is done to evaluate the damage to the roots as well as to cut of ragged roots; the ragged roots are mainly attached to the root ball. On cutting them off, fungicide and rooting hormones are applied on the tips to promote their regrowth so as to adapt to the new area as well as avoid further root damage.

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.
