If you sit down several seedlings nearby, then it is important to observe the distance between them, which should be at least 1 meter. When creating a living hedge, observe the distance equal to 50-80 cm. When landing along Alley, it is recommended to leave the distance between the individual plants in 2.5-3 m.
- At the bottom of each landing pit, you can pour a layer of drainage to prevent stagnation of water from the roots. To do this, you can use clayzit, crushed stone, small stones.
- Before boarding seedlings in containers, it is recommended to pour water abundantly to alleviate their extraction. If you bought a boarding material with open roots, then it is necessary to lower the roots of the Tui Kankan for a few hours to the container with water.
