Understanding the Process of Tree Planting Activity

Introduction
Tree planting is extremely important, especially after understanding the importance of trees. The importance ranges from soil health to the very oxygen that we breathe and even for aesthetic value for a property. However, if you’re looking at tree plantation, it is important to do it right to avoid damage to the tree, or you can just hire an arborist to do it for you.

Tree Planting
Let’s look at the steps involved in tree plantation.
1. Soak
It is important to soak the tree and to make sure that the root ball is soaked, as well as it can reject water from the soil around if it is dry. You could even add a seaweed product to the water to help avoid transplant shock and also to help root growth.
2. Dig
The hole that you dig should be at least twice the size of the root ball of the tree you want to plant. Depth is more important than width here, so be sure that the hole can cover the roots completely. Digging a bigger and deeper hole is always better, but it doesn’t have to be too big.
3. Improve
Improving the soil is important to ensure long-term survival. You can add gypsum in clay soils to improve soil drainage and structure and even compost that is well-rotted so that there is organic matter. Compost is best for sandy soils as it helps in holding moisture. A good fertiliser, on the other hand, is good for all types of soils, like a slow-release fertiliser that has a microbial coating or even something like bone and blood.
4. Decant
Take the plant out of the pot in such a manner that the roots remain as intact as is possible. In healthy stock, root disturbance can end up causing shock. You could tease out the bottom if the roots have poor structure or if the plant is pot-bound.
5. Plant

Now you can place the plant in the hole that you dug and make sure to back-fill it up with soil, so the roots are covered. The soil around needs to be firm with a well on the top so that the water from the rain or any other source is caught above the roots.
6. Water
Lastly, you need to water the plant, so you make sure that the roots are getting good contact with the soil and that the soil is settling around the plant. It also gives the plant the first drink that is helpful if the soil is dry, and even if it is damp, it gives deeper moisture.

Conclusion
Understanding how to plant a tree is as essential as understanding the importance of trees. That is why, as mentioned, we recommend Treecotech if you want to hire professional services to ensure that the tree grows healthy and also for long-term survival.

10 Plants in Vogue in the Year 2020

10 Plants in Vogue in the Year 2020When you are on the lookout of gracing your property with plants, tree planning consultancy services are the right contact to guide you for species selection and planting advisory. Meanwhile, you approach a tree development consultancy in Mumbai, here we have some information regarding the trending plant choices in the year 2020.

In the year 2020, the choice of indoor and outdoor plants is chiefly affected by the shift in the consciousness of the people towards the environment. Some of the popular types of plants which are best for decorating your premises this year are:

  1. Wildlife attracting plants: Many plants attract bees, butterflies, and similar other wildlife. Such plants are being preferred in 2020 because these species help in pollination and thus become a cause of multiplying the plants without much effort. More plants mean pacing up the steps towards green Earth. 
  2. Native plants: The plants that naturally occur in your area are called native plants. The recent trend is to have native plants on your premises. Such plants beautify properties at their best because they can grow well and survive for long in the environmental conditions of the area to which they belong.
  3. Small Species: People in urban cities usually face a problem of lack of space. They try to fit every luxury and necessity in limited space. Arranging dwarf plant varieties on their premises is one such step. It allows them to relish the natural beauty of the plants without wasting much space.
  4. Organic food-bearing plants: Globally, the trend is not only being conscious about the environment but also being health conscious for achieving which people plant food-bearing plants in their premises. Plants bearing fruits, vegetables or edible flowers can be planted this year depending on individual choices. These plants have a double benefit, one is adding aesthetic value and the other is providing organic food.
  5. Moving back in time: Since people are becoming more environment-friendly day by day, they are adopting the practice re-wilding their gardens and trying to establish an untouched landscape. Re-wilding gardens mean to reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides, and tree pruning techniques. Planting more of native species and encouraging beneficial insects are other steps in the process of re-wilding gardens. 
  6. Succulents: Succulents and cacti have become the choice of the people either because of their low maintenance or artistic growth patterns.
  7. Floral Plants: Plants which feature both flowers and foliage have always been popular and so they cannot be missed this year too.
  8. Uniqueness is attractive: Many consumers prefer unique over common. To stand out of the line, consumers prefer dark plants i.e. the plants which have red, purple or black leaves, for example, Black Raven, Black Diamond or red Aglaonema. This novel touch eliminates the monotony of green as experienced by many consumers. 
  9. Greens: Even though many consumers prefer unique, greens will never go out of fashion. Grow leafy greens to follow the trend this year.
  10. User-friendly plants: Plants that are user-friendly even at the time of natural disasters are preferred because people take every step cautiously for efficiently handling any unseen and unexpected challenge. Trees are the second choice of residential owners as trees can damage property or men if planted around the residential premises.
