Cutting the roots of flowers twice in autumn will not only help them grow better

Many people think that repotting flowers or grafting or cuttings are important, but they ignore the matter of pruning the roots of flowers.

The roots are the foundation of the plant. If the roots are damaged, the plant will not live long. The roots are where plants absorb water and nutrients. It can be said that the roots are the top priority of plants. Therefore, we must take root pruning seriously.

Why do we need to prune the roots?

Once we grow plants for a long time, they will inevitably grow many roots, some of which are useful and some are not. The messy roots will only deprive the plants of nutrients, making the plants growing outside the soil malnourished and affecting the appearance and speed of plant growth.

There is another situation that the roots of the plant have been damaged, but for various reasons no problem with the roots of the plant has been discovered. In this case, if the roots are trimmed in time and the rotten roots are trimmed off, the rotten roots will expand in area, allowing more roots to continue to rot. It is best to let the plant die quietly. Trimming the roots at this time will only be too late.

Another benefit of timely root pruning is that it can trim off the old roots and allow new roots to grow. This practice is beneficial to the regeneration of plant roots, allowing the roots to grow strong, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant and makes the plant grow more stable and firm.

How to trim the roots?

Step 1: Stop watering before root pruning and keep the soil slightly dry.

Step 2: Clean the soil, clean it gently so as not to cause further damage to the roots.

Step 3: Prune off roots that are growing poorly, are old, have problems, or are too long and messy.

Step 4: After root pruning, you can wash the roots of the plant, disinfect them and dry them.

Step 5: It is best to choose moist soil when transplanting and avoid sunlight at this time. After three to five days, when the plants show signs of life, you can water them.

These are the five steps to pruning plant roots. Have you all learned them?
