In order for a newly planted tree to take root quickly, it needs to be operated from the following aspects:
Choose the right tree species: Different tree species have different rooting rates and ability to adapt to their environment. Choosing a tree species that is suitable for the local climate and soil conditions is beneficial to increase the speed of rooting.
Prepare healthy seedlings: Choosing healthy, pest-free and vigorous seedlings is conducive to improving the success rate of rooting. When buying seedlings, it is necessary to pay attention to the growth of seedlings and avoid buying seedlings with serious pests and diseases or poor growth.
Pruning branches and leaves: Before planting, some branches and leaves of seedlings can be appropriately cut to reduce the burden on the plant and help improve the rooting speed. When pruning branches and leaves, pay attention to retaining a certain number of leaves to ensure the photosynthesis of the plant.
Maintain proper humidity: Newly planted trees should maintain proper humidity to facilitate rooting. After planting, you can use a watering can to spray some water to keep the soil moist. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid overwatering, so as not to cause a lack of oxygen to the roots.
Apply rooting promoters: Before planting, some rooting promoters can be applied to the roots of seedlings, such as rooting powder, plant growth regulators, etc., which help to increase the rooting speed. When using rooting accelerators, operate in accordance with the requirements of the instructions and avoid excessive use.
Maintain the right temperature: Newly planted trees should be kept at a suitable temperature to help them take root. In general, the optimal temperature for rooting seedlings is 20-30 degrees Celsius. In cold areas in winter, it is necessary to pay attention to thermal insulation measures to avoid the temperature being too low to affect rooting.
Provide sufficient nutrients: Newly planted trees should provide sufficient nutrients to meet the needs of rooting. Before planting, some organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer can be applied to the soil. After the tree has taken root, some quick-acting fertilizer can be applied regularly to promote the growth of the tree.
Maintain proper light: Newly planted trees should maintain good light conditions, which is conducive to photosynthesis and thus promotes rooting. When planting, avoid shade between trees to ensure that each tree gets plenty of sunlight.
Pest control: Newly planted trees are susceptible to pests and diseases, which affect rooting. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of pests and diseases. The growth of trees can be checked regularly, and pests and diseases should be dealt with in time. Biological or chemical control methods can be used to select appropriate control measures according to the specific situation.
Be patient: It takes time for a newly planted tree to take root. During this process, be patient and don't be too anxious. As long as the above aspects are done well, the trees will gradually take root and thrive.
In short, in order for newly planted trees to take root quickly, comprehensive management is required from the selection of tree species, preparation of seedlings, pruning of branches and leaves, maintenance of humidity, application of rooting promoters, maintenance of temperature, provision of nutrients, maintenance of light, and prevention and control of pests and diseases. Through scientific and reasonable operation, the rooting speed and survival rate of newly planted trees can be effectively improved.
