How to repot cold water flowers

Best time to repot

The best time to repot is spring, and it is best to repot when the air temperature is stable at ten degrees Celsius. At this time, the roots grow very vigorously, and the wounds heal quickly after repotting, which greatly reduces the harm caused by repotting to the cold water flower.

The repotting cycle is generally one year. After a year of growth, the soil in the old pot becomes very compacted and has poor air permeability, and a lot of nutrients are lost. Therefore, repotting the Pilea can extend its growth period.

Specific steps and precautions for repotting

prune

Prune the branches before repotting to avoid dead leaves competing with normal leaves for nutrients after repotting, which will hinder the normal growth of the coleus.

soil

Repotting is undoubtedly accompanied by changing the soil. The new soil is required to be rich in humus, loose and breathable, suitable for plant growth.

Air humidity

The Pilea has very high requirements for air humidity. After transplanting it to a new pot, it needs to be watered sufficiently and sprayed with mist frequently around it to increase the air humidity. Only the cool water flowers grown in a high humidity environment will have bright colors and clear textures.
