Transplant
Transplanting is a stressful period for young bedding plants. Minimizing transplant shock keeps plants growing vigorously, avoiding flowering delays and reduced yields.
AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer
is a must for watering-in small transplants. Use a mixture of three oz. of AGGRAND 4-3-3/gal. of water for watering-in transplants. The addition of one to two oz. of AGGRAND Liquid Bonemeal to the solution to increase phosphorus and calcium availability when watering-in the transplants will aid in promoting long term root development. Shrubs and trees should be soaked overnight in a bucket of 4-3-3 before transplanting. Use a mixture of one oz. of AGGRAND 4-3-3/gal. of water for bare root soaking.
Avoid transplanting during the heat of the day to avoid root desiccation (drying out).
Cloudy weather is the best time to transplant.
Keep soil moist until root systems are well established.
