Transplanting mussel cypresses - Important tips!
An abrupt change of location does not like the Muschelzypresse. Nevertheless, it can not always be avoided that you have to transplant your mussel cypress. So that the plant does not suffer too much, you should follow a few tips.

Basically it can be said that transplanting makes sense only in younger mussel cypresses. Although the Muschelzypresse is a Flachwurzler, but older plants have a pronounced root system, which get you badly off the ground.
Through stumped and bent roots the mussel cypress does not get enough nutrients and can not draw enough water. This increases the risk that the tree is received even with good care.
After transplanting you have to expect that the Muschelzypresse cares for a long time and grows only slightly. Often she also gets many brown needles after a change of location.
The best time to transplant
If possible, only plant mussel cypresses in autumn. Then the growth phase is over and the plant can put all its power into the formation of new roots.
If you transplant a cypress in spring or summer, you must be very careful that the moisture in the soil does not dry out, but in no case waterlogging occurs.
So you plant the mussel cypress properly
Before the mussel cypress is planted again, roots and shoots must be cut back.
After transplanting, good irrigation is the most important prerequisite for the mussel cypress to grow at its new location. Water regularly, but be careful not to spill water, as the plant will turn brown or begin to rot.
The new location must be warm and bright, like sunny. In general, most mussel cypresses are not hardy and must be wintered indoors. That's why it usually makes more sense to pull the trees right in the bucket.
Tips
Mushroom cypresses in the tub are planted in fresh substrate every two to three years. When repotting, trim roots and shoots.
