Geranium repotting timeGeraniums grow fast and bloom a lot, so the soil in their pots needs to be changed every year. Geraniums are in bloom in early spring, and after blooming in June, it is in the hot and humid season, neither of which is suitable for repotting. Therefore, it is best to repot in late August to early September, when the temperature and humidity are suitable for the recovery of the plants. Geranium repotting method1. Prepare the soil When repotting geraniums, it is generally better to choose more breathable ceramic pots and clay pots. There should be drainage holes at the bottom of the pots. New clay pots should be soaked in water for a day before use. Geraniums like fertile, loose, breathable and well-drained soil. When repotting, you can use a mixture of garden soil and leaf mold. After preparation, it needs to be exposed to the sun for two days for sterilization and disinfection, and then set aside. 2. Repotting operation Remove the geranium from the pot, gently shake off excess soil on the roots, trim old, rotten, and dense roots, and shorten the branches, leaving a few branches to reduce nutrient consumption. Place tiles at the bottom of the pot, then spread a layer of prepared substrate on the drainage layer, place the plant in the center of the pot, add soil, and finally compact the soil. Things to note when repotting geraniumsIf the soil is moist after the geranium is repotted, there is no need to water it. After about 5-7 days, wait until the soil is slightly dry before watering it. This way, after repotting and transplanting, it will be able to grow smoothly and adapt to the pot. In addition, the roots of the geranium are fragile after repotting, so no fertilizer is needed at this time to avoid fertilizer damage. |
