If you don’t change the pot for the flower now, it will die in a minute!

Repotting Gardenia

Many people have bought gardenias recently, but if the pot is filled with yellow soil when you buy it, the leaves may droop in a few days. It is best to repot them!

Steps:

1. Hold the flowerpot with one hand and use the other hand to gently take the gardenia out of the pot.

2. If the roots are entangled with the soil, soak the root soil with water, and clean the soil after it is softened. This is called root washing.

3. After cleaning the root soil, place it in a ventilated place to dry, and then trim the excess weak roots and old roots.

4. To prepare the soil for planting gardenias, you can use 6 parts of humus soil and 4 parts of sandy soil. This kind of soil is slightly acidic and very breathable.

5. Gardenias are relatively fragile when they are first potted, so it is best to water them by immersing the pot. Place the flower pot in a basin of water and take it out after 10 minutes.

6. Place the gardenia in a semi-shaded location and avoid strong light. Cover it with a plastic bag, open it once in the morning and evening and spray water on it, and then remove the bag when new leaves grow.

Repotting succulent plants

The flowerpots for succulents are generally small. If they are not changed for more than two years, the roots in the pots may have grown full, which will affect the growth of the succulents. In addition, succulents with insect pests and black rot should also be repotted to prevent secondary infection!

Steps:

1. Use tweezers to poke along the edge of the pot to loosen the soil around the pot, then gently take out the succulents. From the picture below, you can see that the roots of this pot of succulents are so dense that it is not conducive to root breathing and is prone to root rot.

2. Loosen the soil around the roots and use sterilized scissors to trim off the excess roots. After trimming, place them in a cool place to dry the wounds.

3. Prepare a pot that is slightly larger than the original one, first spread a layer of expanded clay, and then add a little slightly moist soil for succulents. Then place the succulents in the center of the pot and slowly fill in the soil and compact it.

4. The succulents that have just been potted have a period of acclimatization. The soil is wet when they are potted. You can control the water during this period. Wait a week until the soil feels dry before watering.

Changing the pot of Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is hardy and grows fast, so you need to repot it 1 to 2 times a year. If your Kalanchoe has not yet faded, you can wait until the flowers fade before replacing them!

Steps:

1. Control the water for a period of time before repotting the Kalanchoe. Repotting with wet soil can easily damage the roots.

2. Kalanchoe has relatively few roots, so there is no need to trim the roots and the original soil can be retained. Just put it in the new pot and fill it with soil.

3. Some compound fertilizer can be mixed into the newly filled soil, depending on the size of the flower pot. Generally, no more than 8 grains are used at a time.

4. After planting, water it once. The water temperature should be similar to room temperature, and the soil should be watered thoroughly.

5. If the branches of the Kalanchoe are long, you can trim them when repotting and insert the branches into the pot. The survival rate is basically 100%!

Orchid repotting

The fleshy roots of orchids can easily fill the pot. If side buds grow, the pot will be even more crowded. It is necessary to change the pot in time to allow space for growth!

Steps:

1. Use a screwdriver to draw a circle along the flowerpot to separate the soil from the flowerpot, and take out the orchid.

2. Loosen the soil around the roots, shake the roots, and clean the soil on the roots.

3. Prune off the dry and empty roots, rotten roots, and weak roots.

4. After pruning, soak the roots in a solution of carbendazim for 10 to 15 minutes to disinfect them, then take them out and dry them.

5. After the roots are dry, plant them in a new pot. Water the plants again the next day to help them take root, which will prevent root rot.

Repotting roses

Potted roses generally need to be repotted every 1 to 2 years, because there are relatively few nutrients in the pots. If they are not repotted for a long time, the roses will bloom less or even not at all!

Steps:

1. Roses grow relatively fast, so when you repot, the new pot should be 1 times larger than the original one.

2. Add some breathable large-grained planting materials to the bottom of the pot, sprinkle a thin layer of soil, and then add some base fertilizer, such as fermented sheep dung balls. Don't use too much.

3. After applying the base fertilizer, continue to fill the soil. You can put the rose from the original pot into the new pot from time to time to see the difference in the soil surface of the original pot and the new pot. Stop filling the soil when they are equal.

4. Remove the rose from the pot. Be careful not to water it before repotting. It is less likely to damage the roots if the soil is dry.

5. Place the rose in the middle of the new pot, fill it with soil, and gently press it down with your hands. Especially the flower soil on the edge of the pot must be compacted.

6. After filling the soil, water it thoroughly to ensure the roots are established. If water starts to flow from the bottom of the pot within 15 seconds and is completely absorbed within 1 minute, it proves that the soil in the pot has good water permeability.

7. After repotting the rose, do not expose it to the sun. After 10 to 15 days of keeping the rose in a semi-shaded position, it will adapt for a period of time before normal maintenance.

That’s all the tips for changing pots.

While the weather is neither too hot nor too cold,

Change the pot for the flowers quickly!
