- If you are replacing the shrub from the container to the soil you should dig the hole 2 inches deeper than the roots of the plant. The soil that will be under the roots should be loosened up.
- Put the shrub or tree from the container and put it in the hole. Fill the hole up with loose soil.
- Then heap some loose soil around the newly sowed plant. This heap of loose soil will hold the water and help the plant to settle down deep-rooted in the new place.
- While placing the shrub or tree in the hole hold the plant straight with a spading fork and then fill the hole with loose soil so that it is able to hold the roots tightly. The roots should be 2 inches deeper than it was in the pot before the transferring.
- Water is the most important thing after the plant has being replanted. After replanting water your plant for 10 days consecutively if the weather is dry.
- Trim the tree or shrub and give a shape and size of your choice. The branches should be cut above the bud in a slanting direction. In this type of trimming the shrubs repair the damage of cutting easily and grow quickly. Spray the trimmed areas with a special pruning spray as soon as the trimming is done to keep the insects and other harmful pests away.
