How to change the soil and pot of potted plants

The role and requirements of changing the soil and pots for potted plants

Potted plants are living plants planted in pots. According to the focus of potted plants, they can be classified according to tree shape, number of trees, tree height, tree species, ornamental and style. Potted plants can be repotted in autumn because the weather is clear and the air temperature is suitable. Most plants can be repotted and can recover quickly after repotting.

Function : After 1 to 3 years of cultivation, the nutrients in the potting soil of potted flowers and trees are exhausted, and the original pots are no longer suitable for growth and development, so the pots must be turned over or replaced to supplement nutrients.

Requirements : When repotting potted plants, remove part of the original soil and replace it with loose, breathable soil. The most feared thing is that the soil becomes compacted and silted up, which will cause the roots to stop growing and the roots to rot.

Maintenance points after potting soil change

Remove from pot : Before repotting, stop watering the plant for a few days, gently pinch the edge of the pot to remove it from the pot, then check the roots, and trim any that are black and rotten.

Prepare the soil : Organic soil mixed with a small amount of sand is best for potted plants, as potted plants have higher requirements for soil. Choose a flower pot that matches the size of the potted plant, preferably a ceramic pot.

Planting : First fill the bottom of the pot with soil, then mix some slow-release fertilizer as base fertilizer, put the plant in after filling the soil, gently pat the pot, and finally water it thoroughly. The water must be poured thoroughly to facilitate the growth of the plant.
