The weather is getting warmer. If you don’t change the pots quickly, the flowers will have nowhere to grow!

Should your flowers be repotted?

Repotting is very important for growing flowers. Failure to repot for a long time will cause the nutrients in the potting soil to be depleted, and the plants will not be able to absorb nutrients, causing them to grow thin and listless.

In these 3 situations, your flowers must be repotted!

1. Some flower lovers have been raising flowers such as green ivy and camellia at home for 3 or 4 years without any major problems, but they have never changed the pots once during this period.

2. The white roots of flowers such as spider plants and Clivia are almost growing out of the pots, or the pots are cracked.

3. Watering, fertilizing and pruning are done as before, but the flowers just don’t grow, or the leaves become thinner and the color becomes darker.

What preparations should be made for repotting?

After deciding to repot the flowers, in addition to preparing new pots, you also need to do some other preparations. Let's take a look~

What are the preparations for repotting?

1. Prepare tools, such as gardening shovel, gardening shears, etc. A shovel is needed when removing flowers from pots, and scissors are needed when pruning the roots of flowers.

2. Prepare new flower pots and new nutrient soil. It is generally best to buy ceramic flower pots, which have good air permeability and are more conducive to the growth of flowers. However, newly purchased flower pots need to be soaked in clean water for 1 or 2 days and then dried before use.

3. Prepare carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution. If the roots of the flowers rot during the repotting process, trim them with a knife and then soak them in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution for half an hour to kill and disinfect them.

4. Cut off the water supply for the flowers before repotting. Stop watering the flowers one week before you plan to repot them. This will help the flowers to fall out of the pots and minimize damage to the flowers.

Specific steps and precautions for repotting!

After preparation, you can change the pots. Choose a time when the weather is clear, and it is best to change the pots at noon, as the temperature is relatively high at this time. Be careful not to change the pots of flowers on rainy days.

Specific steps for repotting:

1. Use chopsticks or a wooden stick to poke the flowerpot a few times to loosen the soil, then pour out the flowers and the soil together. For large flowers, you can grab the stems and gently pull them out.

2. Loosen the soil near the roots of the flowers and clean the roots of the flowers. If you find that the roots are rotten and black, use scissors to cut off the rotten roots. If they are not rotten, you can trim the roots that are too long and old.

3. Place the roots of the plant in a solution of carbendazim or potassium permanganate and soak for about half an hour. This can prevent the roots of the plant from rotting. Take them out and dry them in a cool place.

4. Put new nutrient soil in the flowerpot, then plant the flowers in it, gently compact the surface soil, then water it thoroughly and place it in a cool place for a week, then just maintain it normally.

What should you pay attention to when repotting different flowers?

Different flowers require some special operations when repotting. Next, Huahua will tell you what you should pay attention to when repotting different flowers.

Things to note when repotting different plants:

1. When repotting Clivia, you can put some melon seeds as base fertilizer. Sprinkle a layer of melon seeds at the bottom of the flowerpot, then cover it with a layer of soil, then sprinkle another layer of melon seeds, and then cover it with soil. The Clivia can be potted. Be careful not to let the roots directly contact the melon seeds.

2. If the roots of the money tree are severely rotten, you can cut off the roots, then soak them in rooting water for a day before putting them in the pot. In addition, putting some broken tiles at the bottom of the flower pot can also help prevent root rot.

3. Succulent plants are very afraid of waterlogging and their roots are prone to rot. When repotting, putting some expanded clay at the bottom of the pot can effectively avoid water accumulation and improve the drainage and ventilation capabilities of the pot.

That’s all for today’s knowledge on changing pots.
