Plantation Instructions

Dear All, Greetings from Sai Anugraha. 

Please find below the instructions for Location Selection, Pitting, Planting & Watering while doing sapling plantation. 

Planting Location Selection: (crucial for ensuring survival)
  • Plant at least 2½ feet from the edge of the road and 2½ feet from a compound wall.
  • Plant within a compound if possible. Else, ensure protection from animals.
  • Plant near your house or where you can reach easily to water it daily.
  • In common land like street,colony,etc.please ensure that someone agrees to water it.
  • Ensure that the tree is not located below electric lines or above storm water drains.
  • Ensure that the place does not get water logged for days together during rains.
  • Ensure a gap of minimum 10 feet between two trees (especially on road sides)
  • Planting should not be in the shade of another grown tree.

Pit preparation:
  • The dimensions of the pit are 1.5 feet x 1.5 feet x 1.5 feet. The pit is dug much more than the root size in order to make the soil porous to retain more water and facilitate root growth.
  • Ensure that the dug out soil is preserved as it is required to fill the pit again while planting.

Lifting:
  • Please lift & carry the plant carefully by holding the plastic packet. 
  • Do not lift by the stem.

Planting:
  • The plastic cover should be removed carefully using blade or knife such that the clump of soil is not broken (This decides 70% survival of the plant).
  • If roots are grown out of the packet, the root protruding out needs to be carefully pruned before planting.
  • The dug out soil from the pit should be mixed well with compost and filled back into the pit. 
  • Compost or earthworm compost could be purchased from horticultural shops.
  • Dig out the pit for about 9 inches or enough to immerse the entire root and soil clump into the hole. 
  • The entire soil clump should be immersed under the soil. Ensure that the stem is straight and not slanting. If required a small stick may be provided to support the stem.
  • After closing the pit, compress the loose soil around the clump by hand to ensure compactness.
  • Create a basin around the pit of about 1 foot radius for better watering.
  • Important: Mulch the seedling with bio mass after planting ie. spread a layer of dried leaves or dried plant material around the base of the stem for a thickness of about 2 to 3 inches.

Watering:
  • While the seedling is in the plastic cover, water  twice a day with a mug or bottle to ensure that the soil does not splash out of the packet.
  • After planting, water immediately and thereafter, water once every day. Just half a bucket will do. Even the water used to rinse utensils is adequate.
  • After 6 months, water once in two days.
  • Avoid over-watering to ensure that the root growth is robust and the plant's resistance to heat is better.
     
     Let us follow the instructions and plant more and more trees and make this world a better place to live. Join hands with Sai Anugraha to preserve this beautiful and irreplaceable world for future generations.

     Thanks & Regards,
     Sai Anugraha
