This is how you replant Phlox - the best tips
Often Phlox is in the same place in the garden for years, but sometimes it makes sense to think about transplanting. Be it because the phlox is threatened by a disease, or that you want to remodel your garden.
What you should consider when transplanting
If possible, do not put your phlox in a place where Phlox used to be, so better choose a different location. Put some well rotted compost or manure into the planting hole, which will help the phlox grow and form new roots.
The ideal time for transplanting is hibernation, unless the soil is frozen. You can also transplant your phlox in the fall or spring. It is important that the plant is not in full bloom.
Do not plant the phlox too deep in the soil, he does not like it and he will not bloom then. Slightly loosen the roots with your fingers and give the plant fresh potting soil and water the phlox well. Avoid damaging the water, otherwise the roots may rot.
When must phlox be transplanted?
If your Phlox repeatedly suffers from the same diseases and / or pests, then you should think about whether you would rather not implement it. He may be getting infected again and again over germs in the soil. Before transplanting, cut off all affected parts of the plant and dispose of them.
Even if the phlox grows a bit meager, the location is probably not ideal. Maybe the soil is too firm or the plant gets too little sun. Then your phlox will hardly bloom properly. Here you have the choice to choose a different Phlox variety, or to implement your existing plants. Of course you can do both.
