If you don't prune the roots when repotting, it's a waste of time

Prune diseased roots

When giving plants pots, carefully check the growth of the roots. If you find any abnormalities, cut them off in time and remove them completely.

If plants are watered too much and water accumulates in the soil for a long time, it can easily lead to root rot. When repotting these plants, the rotten roots should be trimmed off to prevent further infection.

In order to grow, flowers will always grow many tiny roots. When repotting, some of these tiny roots need to be cut off to promote the germination of new roots.

Pruning reverse roots

The so-called reverse roots are roots that grow in the opposite direction. If they are not trimmed, the roots will become tangled and affect their growth. One way to deal with them is to cut them off directly, or you can adjust the growth direction of the roots, fix them, and make them grow downward.

For potted plants, due to the limited space in the pots, if they are not potted in time, the roots of the plants will become tangled and cannot grow normally. If this happens in the pots, you need to carefully clean the roots, prune them appropriately and then replant them.

Prune thick roots

The thick roots of the plant will weaken other roots and affect the growth of other roots. Therefore, when repotting, if such roots are found, they should be cut off in time.

When repotting, cut off the roots that are too long and extend downward, so that the root system can extend in all directions, so that the plant can develop better!
