How to Transplant Chittagong wood
(Chukrasia tabularis)
Chittagong wood, also known as Indian mahogany
The optimal time to transplant chittagong wood is when the warmth of late spring merges into early summer, offering a fusion of mild temperatures and longer days that encourage root growth. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil to welcome chittagong wood. Gentle handling during the process will help ensure a successful move.

What Preparations are Needed Before Transplanting Chittagong Wood?

What is the Ideal Time for Transplanting Chittagong Wood?
The optimal period for relocating chittagong wood is during the cusp of late spring to early summer. This timing allows chittagong wood to establish its roots before the full intensity of summer heat while taking advantage of the accelerating spring growth period. By doing so, you not only boost the chances of successful establishment due to the warm yet moderate temperatures, but also ensure that chittagong wood has ample time to acclimatize before the arrival of any potential environmental stresses.
How Much Space Should You Leave Between Chittagong Wood Plants?
When transplanting chittagong wood, make sure to space each plant about 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters) apart from the others. This will allow sufficient room for growth while also promoting healthy air flow between the plants.
What is the Best Soil Mix for Chittagong Wood Transplanting?
Chittagong wood loves well-drained, loamy soil. Start by preparing the soil with a good amount of organic compost or a slow-release base fertilizer. This will provide a strong nutritional foundation for the plant.
Where Should You Relocate Your Chittagong Wood?
Chittagong wood enjoys abundant sunlight but can also tolerate partial shade. When choosing the location for transplantation, try to find an area that stays bright for at least several hours a day.

What Equipments Should You Prepare Before Transplantation Chittagong Wood?

Hand Gloves
To protect your hands while working with the plant and soil during transplanting.
Shovel or Hand Trowel
For digging and tackling the soil during transplant process.
Pruning Shears
To cut off any unwanted parts of the plant such as rotting roots.
Watering Can or Hose
To water your plant before and after transplanting to ease the shock of transplanting.
Wheelbarrow or Pot
To transport the chittagong wood plant from its original location to the new spot.

How Do You Remove Chittagong Wood from the Soil?

From Ground: Firstly, water the chittagong wood plant well enough to make the process of uprooting easier and less damaging to the plant. Next, dig a wide radius around the plant with a shovel or hand trowel, leaving enough space so the plant's roots remain undamaged. The depth of the radius should coincide with the general spherical area that the entire root system likely occupies. When you're sure you've dug around the entire root area, use the shovel to carefully push underneath the root ball, and gently lift the plant out of the ground. Try to keep the root ball intact as much as possible.
From Pot: If your chittagong wood is coming out of a pot, watering the plant a few hours ahead is recommended. Turn the pot on its side, roll it gently if needed to loosen the soil and roots. This will help the plant slide out of the pot. Make sure you handle the root ball gently to avoid breakage.
From Seedling Tray: To remove a chittagong wood seedling from a tray, you should wet the tray first. Next, use a spoon or a small tool to carefully leverage the seedling out, starting with the edges and making sure to avoid damaging the roots.

Step-by-Step Guide for Transplanting Chittagong Wood

Digging the Hole
Dig a hole that is twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball of the chittagong wood plant. This allows the roots to extend out and grow evenly.
Arranging the Plant
Position the chittagong wood plant in the hole. Make sure that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Having it too deep or too shallow can both be damaging.
Replanting
Properly fill the hole with the previously dug-up soil. The soil should cover the entire root ball. Once the plant is secure, press the soil down firmly but gently to remove any air pockets.
Water Thoroughly
Water the chittagong wood plant thoroughly as it will help the plant recover from transplant shock and help it settle into its new home.

How Do You Care For Chittagong Wood After Transplanting?

Watering
Keep the soil around chittagong wood consistently moist for the first few weeks after transplanting. Avoid overwatering and don't make it soggy.
Positioning

Checking for Pests
Regularly check for any insects, pests or signs of diseases. If anything suspicious is observed, appropriate medicinal treatment should be given.
Pruning
Prune the chittagong wood plant as needed to maintain the desired size and shape, and to promote healthier growth.
Note
During the first few weeks after the transplant, chittagong wood needs additional care. Monitor the plant regularly for any signs of stress or disease.

Troubleshooting Common Issues with Chittagong Wood Transplantation.

When is the best time to transplant chittagong wood?
The optimal time to transplant chittagong wood is during late summer to early autumn, also known as 'S3-S4' period. This allows the plant to establish roots before winter.
How far apart should chittagong wood be planted?
The ideal spacing for chittagong wood is 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters). This provides enough room for mature size and optimal health of the plant.
What steps should I follow for successful chittagong wood transplanting?
Prepare the new spot with compost, move the chittagong wood delicately, keep its root ball intact, place it in the hole, backfill, and water thoroughly, yet gently.
How deep should the hole be for transplanting chittagong wood?
The hole should be twice the diameter and the same depth as your chittagong wood's root ball. This guarantees adequate space for root spread and growth.
What to do if the leaves of chittagong wood turn yellow after transplanting?
Yellow leaves may signify stress during transplant. Ensure the plant is correctly watered, gets proper light, and the soil has necessary nutrients. If problem persists, seek expert help.
How frequently should I irrigate chittagong wood after transplantation?
For the initial weeks, water deeply every day. Once chittagong wood is established, adjust watering to twice a week. Avoid waterlogging - it can cause root rot.
How to ensure chittagong wood survives winter after transplanting?
Apply much around the base to insulate the roots. Limit watering as chittagong wood goes dormant in winter, and protect it from winds and frost with a cover if necessary.
What type of soil is best for transplanting chittagong wood?
Chittagong wood prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Add organic matter like compost to improve soil structure. If your soil is dense or sandy, consider using an equal mix of soil, compost, and coarse sand.
Should I fertilize chittagong wood after transplanting?
Wait until new growth appears before you begin fertilizing. Use a balanced fertilizer and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application. Avoid over-fertilizing, it can harm chittagong wood.
Why is chittagong wood transplant shock and how to prevent it?
Transplant shock happens when chittagong wood doesn't adjust well to its new place. To minimize this, transplant during optimal season ('S3-S4'), provide ample water, and protect it from harsh weather.
