Questions tagged [transplanting]

For questions about moving plants between pots or beds.

Most plants can be readily moved from one location to another through the process of transplanting. The basic principle is to dig the plant up, and then re-locate it in a hole in the ground or a new pot. Care must be taken to minimize root damage, and usually to avoid branch .

Plants may be transplanted because you prefer the new location, an old is getting root bound, or to improve the soil quality.

This is my aloe vera plant. It’s healthy but it long outgrew the 10” pot. Instead of moving it into a bigger pot, I would like to transplant it into 2 or 3 pots. How should I do this without hurting the plant? Thanks.

The company I ordered special trees from put tape directly on the tree, should I remove the tape?

I ordered plants from a catalog, and the "trees" had their names taped on them. Should I let them grow for a while this way (so I know what tree is what), or remove the tape right away?
