Why Schisandra chinensis seedlings should be soaked in water before planting and the suitable soaking time

Schisandra chinensis seedlings naturally have indistinct main and lateral roots and many fine fibrous roots. After the seedlings leave the nursery, they go through several stages such as transport, storage and transplanting, and water loss occurs in both the root and crown areas.

Using such seedlings results in a low survival rate, so before planting they should be soaked in water for 24 hours.
