The best time to repot Molan, how to repot and precautions

The right time to repot Molan

The time to repot Mo Lan should avoid its flowering period, which is generally after flowering in spring or in autumn. Pay attention to the weather before preparing to repot. Try not to make it too humid before and after repotting, and avoid rainy days. Generally, the temperature should be around 25-30℃ so that it can recover faster.

Preparations for repotting Molan

Before repotting the Mo Orchid, stop watering and keep the soil dry. This will make it easier for the Mo Orchid to remove from the pot. It is recommended to loosen the soil before removing the plant from the pot, and then take it out. Remember not to pull it out directly to avoid damaging the roots of the Mo Orchid.

In addition, the soil for the new pot should be loose and fertile. You can mix leaf mold and river sand in a ratio of 5:1, or you can add some slag. This can increase its drainage and allow the black orchid to grow better.

Methods and key points for repotting Molan

1. Root pruning

When repotting the Mo Lan, you need to trim its roots, cut off all the old roots, dead roots, and rotten roots, leaving only the new and strong roots. If it is a seedling, there is no need to trim the roots. After removing it from the pot, just place the roots in a cool place to dry.

2. Put it in the basin

When repotting, support the plant with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand to compact the new soil, but do not use too much force to avoid damaging the orchid. Be sure to water it thoroughly and place it in a cool and ventilated place for 1-2 weeks, and it will resume normal growth.
