Botanists have realized that to plant seedlings or seeds is not the only way to have plants at your home or farm, as one can also relocate a plant form one location to another. The process of Growing Cycads is thus considered less appropriate than relocating them either for commercial or conservation purposes. Below is the process of relocating the plants.
The first stage of relocating the plant is through cutting the older leaves that are often at the bottom of the tree. This is done to reduce the effort on the root as it recovers from the move to supply the necessary nutrients to the rest of the plant. The directional orientation of the leaves is also identified through tagging the direction of some leaves so as to set them appropriately when moved.
Afterwards, the diameter of the caudex is measured. The digit is usually very important as it determines the depth and diameter of the hole dug to remove the tree. The caudex diameter is added 3 or 4 times to acquire a diameter in which the hole around the tree is to be dug, as well as the diameter of the hole to be dug underground. The caudex is mainly used to store water.
After digging, the trees are then easier to pull out from the soil. When moving the tree, the main factor guiding the operation is to maintain a large fraction of the root mass so as to reduce the recovery period they need on relocation. However, the tree will require having all the extra weight removed. An example of such weight includes the extra soil clinging to the roots which is removed through hosing.
Once the vegetation is completely removed, the investor will need to closely examine the condition of roots. This helps evaluate if the roots will be able to regrow back easily after the move. Additionally, the investor cuts off ragged roots on the root ball. The remaining roots are then treated using root hormones and fungicides so as to promote its survival during the move.
Moving the tree will require using a machine and a vehicle. The plant can either be moved so as to be potted, boxed or relocated to a new location. For relocation, the mover needs to have found a good spot for the plant. For example, a cycad needs well drained soil often sandy in a sloppy area. While transportation, further root damage needs to be avoided.
To place the tree back into the soil in a new area, the root ball offers directions on the size of the hole dug. That is the diameter and deepness of the hole dug for the plant should be one and a half more diameter than that of a root ball diameter. After the hole is dug, it is placed in the hole while considering the directional orientation marked earlier on to reduce strain on the plant.
On placing in the trees, an earth trench should be dug around it in which 5 gallons of water with rooting hormone is placed which should last for 2-3 weeks. The resulting first leaves may not be similar to that while in the old location, but they will get better with the next season.
