Repotting flowers, but you don’t know these things? No wonder the yellow leaves are dying!

What should you pay attention to before repotting flowers?

If you want the flowers to grow well, you need to change the pot to a larger one after the flowers have grown for a period of time. Just like people need to change into larger clothes when they grow up, the same principle applies to changing pots for flowers. What should you pay attention to when changing pots?

1. Stop watering 3-5 days in advance

When you decide to repot the flowers, stop watering 3-5 days in advance to allow the soil to become drier. It is easy for the roots to separate from the soil when repotting.

2. Keep one-third of the soil around the roots

After removing the flower roots from the pot, be careful to remove the soil around the roots. Keep the soil in the middle of the roots and do not remove all the old soil to prevent damage to the roots.

3. Do not damage the taproot when pruning

After the roots are removed from the pot and soil, use scissors to cut off the old roots, empty roots, and rotten roots. Never cut the taproot. Pruning can promote the growth of new roots.

4. Do not change pots frequently

Generally speaking, you can repot the flowers when the temperature is above 20 degrees. The frequency of repotting should not be too often, usually once every 1-2 years. Of course, different flowers have different time to repot. If the flowers bloom in winter or early spring, wait until autumn to repot them.

If you repot your Clivia like this, its leaves will be so green that they will burst through the pot with its roots!

Clivia needs to be repotted once a year because the roots have been growing for a year and the nutrients in the old soil are almost used up. Replace the pot with a new one and use new soil to let the Clivia grow rapidly!

1. Remove the Clivia from the pot and soil

When the temperature is not lower than 15 degrees, you can change the pot for the Clivia. After stopping watering the Clivia for 3-5 days, remove the Clivia from the soil.

2. Prune the roots

Cut off all the old roots and empty roots of the Clivia, being careful not to damage the healthy root system.

3. Prepare new soil and put it in the pot.

First, spread a layer of pine needle soil on the bottom of the pot, then a layer of melon seed shells, and finally a layer of nutrient soil. Dig a hole in the soil, put the roots of the Clivia into the soil, then bury it with soil, fix it, and water it thoroughly.

4. Place in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth of seedlings

Place the repotted Clivia in a cool and ventilated place for a week to grow seeds. Keep the temperature at 15-25 degrees. Do not apply fertilizer for the time being.

"Sandwich" method with new soil

Changing the flower's pot to a bigger one means you need to change the soil.

Each layer of soil is different and is prepared according to the different requirements of various flowers for soil.
