Temporary Potting Small Trees - Central Florida

11 years ago

I have a small Magnolia tree, about 2 1/2' tall, and 2 Japanese Plum trees each about 3' tall. They are still in small pots. We are planning on moving next year so I don't want to plant them in the ground yet. I bought some very large plastic buckets. They have a large rope handle on both sides and measure about 2 1/2' tall and about 2 1/2' across. I want to temporarily plant the trees in the buckets so we can take them to the new property next year instead of having to dig them up to take them with us. How do I do this and will they do well enough in the temporary pots? I also have a 2' Angel Trumpet plant that I want to do the same thing to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have several bags of Miracle Gro potting soil and a couple bags of Miracle Gro Garden soil. Will these work? Which one would be better?

Thanks so much

Sunshine Rivera
