Transplanting A Hop Plant At Wrong Time Of Year

[megs80]

Hey all,
I planted my first rhizome this year in a place I thought would get lots of sun. Due to a couple of factors this isn't the case and my plant was only getting around four hours of direct sunlight. The hop has sprouted ok but is not growing at a normal rate. Being impatient I decided to transplant it to a spot with all day sunlight. This went well with exception of a few of the tiny roots tearing off. Will Tue plant go into shock and die or will it recover to flower another day?

Cheers

fret not.. it will grow more, have you read this HOPS TOPIC? I rekon it will be fine, they are pretty hard to kill..

I dont have experience with hop plants, but whenever I transplant anything I will always hit it with a dose of Seasol at planting and the following week.

Really helps at reducing shock and gives the roots all they need to settle in. After a few weeks you may want to try Powerfeed. Its got more Nitrogen in it so will promote leaf and flower/fruit growth rather than the Seasol which is more suited to root development.

Both products made by the same people, I've no affiliation or anything, just a happy customer...
