Transplanting for plants is equivalent to shifting home for humans.

In fact it is much more than just shifting home as the plants will have to go through a difficult phase adjusting to new soil and climate.

“Normally, nurseries are ideal for seeds which are tiny and numerous. They need to be transplanted once they take roots and start growing so as to avoid pressure and competition for space and nutrients,” says an expert.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that not all plants are transplantable.

Some need other methods such as grafting, budding, layering, or sowing directly.
