Do potted irises need to be repotted? How to repot?

1. Do I need to change the pot?

Irises can be grown in potted plants, but they need to be repotted after a period of time. If you don't change the pot, the iris will continue to grow and the plant will continue to grow. The limited space in the original pot will affect the normal growth of the plant and hinder its later development. Moreover, after a long period of growth and absorption, most of the nutrients in the soil are consumed, and the remaining nutrients cannot supply subsequent growth, which is not conducive to subsequent maintenance. Regular repotting can provide suitable space for growth, provide the necessary new nutrients, and ensure subsequent growth.

2. How to change the pot

1. Prepare the potting soil: When caring for potted irises, a very important factor is the basic condition of the potting soil. It can be prepared before repotting. The flowerpot should be determined according to the growth size of the iris, and the soil should provide loose and well-drained alkaline soil.

2. Stop watering: In order to facilitate removing the pot when repotting, you should stop watering in advance to keep the soil dry and facilitate removing the pot.

3. Remove the iris from the pot and prune: Turn the pot upside down, then carefully and slowly take the iris out of the pot. After taking it out, use a sterilized knife to trim it, and be sure to cut off rotten roots and old roots.

4. Planting in pots: After everything is done, you can transplant the irises into the newly prepared pots.
