Flower Gardening–Plant Establishment
Today let’s talk a bit about planting techniques. Here are a few pointers on establishing your plants.
The most crucial time for plants is right after they have been planted. They may go through some “transplant” shock after being planted. This is especially true for plants that have been divided and/or replanted from other areas of the yard or garden. Plants take in most of their water from tiny hair-like roots, which are disturbed by moving. Roots in plants also develop a water pressure, or tension with the soil to keep a continuous flow of water coming into the plant, and it can take a few days to establish that tension.
