QuestionHi- I have a lot of Pachysandra growing at my house. I wanted to take some of the sprouts(?)and plant them in another area under a tree. I have a least 20-30 srouts growing up through my deck, and underneath that I don't want growing there, and thought I could use them in another spot on my yard instead of purchasing more. I have no idea how to do it. I am new at all of this gardening stuff, but I really love it. thanks.
AnswerHi Michele,
Thanx for your question. I would dig up the plants growing in places in which I don't want them. Just take a pitchfork or shove and dig deeply around them so you have a nice root ball and transfer them to where you want. I would dig around them a few inches away from the plants so I don't cut off too many of the roots. Dig deeply so that you have a large ball of roots. Dig a similarly deep hole in the new area in which you want the plants. Water well and keep watering once a week if not regular rain. I hope this helps.
