o Wide range of tools needed for the
array of planting materials such as
seeds, bedding plants, groundcovers,
trees and shrubs of all sizes
o
Tools required depend upon theplant type and size
o Hand tools must be supplemented
with power tools when plant
materials increase in size

The Soil for Installationo New research suggested use existing soil at the transplant site
was the best backfill to use
It did not encourage the roots of the transplant to remain
within the pit of conditioned soil rather than sending roots into the less than ideal soil of the planting site.
Break lumpiness with a hoe or cultivator
Have stones and other debris screened out

• Soil conditionersPlants with different soil environment(Difference in pH or drainage
• Blended backfillContainerized plantings have noexisting soil
• Artificial soil mixesInterior plantings
• Expand planting pitsUnsuitable natural soil

BARE ROOT ED PLANTS
Installed in planting pits that are
flat bottomed ( for plants with a
tap root) or mounded ( for plants
with a spreading root system)
Ex:
1. Fibrous, Spreading root
system
2. Tap root system

CONTAINERIZED PLANTS
– plants that stayed
in the container too long, causing
roots to grown around themselves
Solution
Roots should be cut every 2
inches

Large trees and Shrubs
o Commonly burlapped/balled at
time of harvest
o Not removing the rope or
twine could result in
of the plant
o Girdling prevents nutrients
from moving from the roots
to the canopy of the plant,
causing it to starve and die

Additional preparation:
• Identification and location of
• Flat bottomed to allow plant ball to rest on a
solid base
• Pit Width: twice as wide as soil ball on
compact soils: 3 or more timesBACKFILLING:
• Backfill meets both soil ball/roots of transplant
of sides of planting hole

Installation:
1. Prepare bed not individual holes
2. For large areas: lessen soil with
garden tiller and incorporation of
necessary herbicide - reducemaintenance requirements

Spacing• Depends: upon species
• Speed of coverage
Care
• Through watering after planting
• For groundcovers: mulching (to reduceweeds)
• For bulbs: rich, well-drained soil plant in
flower beds/borders/containers or
masses in lawn. Planted at different
depths/spacing and species

• Flowering bulbs require a rich,
well-drained soil.
• T hey are planted in flower beds
and borders, in containers, or as
masses in the lawn.
• They may be gently tossed by
the handful
into open, turfed lawn areas to be
planted
wherever they land, in an irregularly
spaced pattern
• Bulbs are planted at differing
depths and spacings,depending
upon their species.

• often contribute slightly to soil nutrition
• may alter soil pH
• are not a mowing hazard if kicked into the lawn
• may be flammable when too dry
• may temporarily reduce nitrogen content of soil
• require replacement due to biodegradation
• may support weed growth as they decompose

Recessed plating bed (serves as catch basin)

1. Mark and orient north side of a cactus, a thick layer of
protective tissue develops on the either side (southern)as it withstand sunlight.
2. Then trench and uproot the cactus
3. Powder sulphur after brushing soil from roots
4. Before replanting put in a shaded area, cactus should
be plant in a well-drained soil
5. Lastly, apply water at monthly intervals

• However, technique & location difference creates another problem
• Rootball diameter should be 2 feet greater than trunk.
• Local industries must be consulted for geographical considerations

Installation
Large palms – moved with a tree spade
Smaller plants – with ball carts or carried at root ball
Care
Palms – same depth of field or container kept well
watered, mistedStaking is often needed to stabilize transplants
Hot and Dry Conditions
Tied fronds: most of the first season
Support stricture: up to a year
