Skimmia Japonica ‘Rubella’
Question:
Can I move a Skimmia Japonica 'Rubella' from one spot in the garden to another, as it's too close to a Forest Flame plant.
Answer:
Most plants can be moved successfully with a little care and attention. Prepare the new planting hole before lifting the plant. Add some well rotted manure to the planting hole and sprinkle a general fertiliser on the removed soil before replacing. Water the plant well and dig it out with as much rootball as possible, avoid damaging the roots. Place it immediately into the new hole, replace the soil, firm around the roots and water well. Keep it well watered for the next few weeks and it should be OK.
