So i have some plants in buckets that im going to be putting in the ground and i would feel alot more confident if i knew forsure what im doing. Is it basicly the same and transplanting from a dixe cup, Stock goes between middle and ring finger and dump upside? Do i have to be worried about the root ball breaking off?

Should i fill the hole with the same soil thats in the buckets? Witch is MG moister control?

Will they get stunted after they are in their new holes?

Am i making this harder then it is?

I could also just leave them in the buckets.


Should i water right befor or should i let it dry out 1 or 2 days. Soil drys quite fast here. Its been 100plus lately.

Let them dry out.Just do it like its in a Dixie cup.Id would fill the holes with like fox farm or happy frog butt hats me.You can fill it with the mg if it makes you feel better.

your on the right track.....but when you transplant make a hole roughly 1.5ft wide x 1.5-2 feet deep. i use rocks and a sand mixture in the bottom of the hole around 3-4 inches. this makes a HUGE inprovement in giving the roots oxygen for excellent growth. TRUST me. you will be surprised
