Plant Translplanting

Transplanting plants is when you uproot a plant to plant it somewhere else. Transplanting is best done in the fall and spring. 
== How I transplant ==
-1 With bareroot transplants, you are removing the dirt to cut the plants weight, or messiness for transport. Transport should be as brief as possible. Local transport should recomendedly be completed within an hour. 
2- Upon arrival, the plant roots should be soaked in water for 3-6 hours. This hlps the plant regain any moisture it lost in transport. It also should help the plant stay hydraded until its time to plant. 
-- After step 2 is done, its time to plant. When planting, try to dig the hole where the plant will go. Put the plant around the same depth tht it stood at at its previous location. Make sure all roots can fit without breakage or bending. Then once th hole is done, you can put you plant in and cover the roots with dirt, and right after planting, make sure to water the plant to soften the dirt and help the plant get back in the ground to grip the dirt 
-Aftermath
it could take 5-7 days to know for sure if a woody plant survived its trasplant. For herbacious plants, you will know within a day.
