Without a doubt, it can be said that planting conifers is considered difficult. If, for example, it is wrong to arrange the roots or not to add water, then the plant is unlikely to take root. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention at least to the main points. The optimal time when conifers are able to take a good start is mid-March. Trees are already moving away from hibernation, entering the active phase of life. Many experts do not advise planting in the fall, as the acclimatization of young trees may not be fully completed. Thus, in fifty percent of cases, they will die from the vagaries of nature.
In the modern world, the planting of conifers has become very popular, which, first of all, is explained by their organicity in landscape design. First you need to choose the right seedling, making sure that there are no damage to the branches and root system. Only healthy plants with a natural smell and natural color are purchased. A hole is dug under a seedling, the size of which should be approximately two times larger than the root size. It is better to fill it with soil with the addition of sand and special fertilizers containing useful substances. At the last stage, the soil around the seedling is compacted and watered with a bucket of warm water.
When planting conifers, it is necessary to ensure that the neck of the root is on the surface. If you hide it too deeply, the young tree will not be able to take root well. The plant will let you know about its successful development by the first young branches. It is necessary to continue caring for young needles, making watering and studying the appearance, so that further treatment of conifers is not required. Indeed, many parasites have their own plans for plants planted recently.
For example, spruce very often suffer enormous damage from green spruce aphids. These pests have toxic saliva, which makes the needles yellow. Over time, the needles completely fall off. By spraying with sucking pests, you can still cure a sick spruce. There are other species of aphids that cause severe damage. However, the bark beetle can be considered the most dangerous pest. In the event of a mass attack, it is unlikely to save the seedlings. And then we can assume that the planting of conifers was in vain. In this regard, the fight against bark beetles should be carried out on time. During the summer, special preparations are sprayed up to six times.
By the way, all evergreens have one feature, which is to heal their wounds. This is facilitated by the resin of coniferous trees, which contains essential oil, formic and succinic acids, turpentine, as well as some other resins. It helps to cure many diseases, improve the functioning of most organs, normalize the functioning of the nervous system, slow down inflammatory processes, bring into action a set of basic enzymes and block a large number of poisons.
