When is the right time to repot flowers and plants?

Time to repot plants

As the flowers and plants grow, their roots will gradually spread more widely. If the original flowerpot is small, it will affect the normal growth and development of the plant. At this time, you need to change the flowerpot immediately. After changing the pot, the plant can regain vitality and grow more vigorously. Newly purchased flowers and plants do not need to be repotted.

It is very suitable to repot flowers and plants in spring and autumn. In early spring, in mid-to-late March, the temperature has risen and various external conditions are relatively stable. At this time, repotted plants do not need to face additional harsh environments, which is conducive to improving the survival rate of the plants and the implementation of the new environment will be faster.

Methods and steps for repotting flowers and plants

1. Treatment before repotting

Before repotting flowers and plants, the soil should be kept moist to make their roots soft. This will prevent the rhizomes from being damaged when they are moved out of the original pots, which is beneficial to plant survival.

2. Prepare the flower pot

When preparing new pots for flowers and plants, try to choose clay pots or terracotta pots. These pots tend to be more breathable, can regulate the moisture of the soil, and allow the roots to better absorb oxygen.

3. Choose soil matrix

When repotting flowers and plants, it is best to choose fertile and loose soil as the base soil. You can use newly turned garden soil mixed with slag and add a little fermented humus to make the soil breathable and fertile.

4. Basin operation

When transplanting flowers and plants into new pots, leave the approximate position of the roots in the soil in advance to avoid damaging the roots during planting. Then cover them with loose soil and pour in a small amount of water.
