When is the right time to repot Chunlan?

Spring orchid repotting time

After long-term planting, as the spring orchid grows and its own photosynthesis occurs, the roots will continuously absorb nutrients from the soil. In about two years, all the nutrients in the soil will be completely absorbed, and the looseness of the soil will drop significantly. If the soil of the newly purchased spider plant is good, there is no need to repot it.

It is more appropriate to repot spring orchids in spring and autumn. At this time, the temperature is moderate and there will be no high temperature or severe cold. If the pots are repotted in summer, the roots of the plants may not be able to adapt to the new soil environment, resulting in severe water loss. In winter, frostbite may easily occur.

Spring orchid repotting method and steps

1. Treatment before repotting

Before repotting the spring orchid, you must first water it abundantly to make the soil very moist. This can reduce the attachment of the roots to the soil and avoid damage when the plant is moved.

2. Prepare the flower pot

Then when choosing a flower pot, try to use a clay pot. This type of pot has good air permeability and can absorb excess moisture in the soil, allowing the plant to grow better.

3. Choose soil matrix

When configuring the new soil for Chunlan, try to choose soil that is breathable and fertile. You can use peat soil combined with garden soil, and then add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer, which can meet the growth needs of the plant.

4. Basin operation

When transplanting spring orchids, first leave space for the roots in the soil, then cover the roots with loose soil, and finally water with a small amount of water for the plant's roots to absorb.
