How many days after repotting can I fertilize my baby's breath? What should I do if the leaves turn yellow after repotting?

1. How many days can you apply fertilizer?

After repotting the baby's breath, you generally have to wait until the plant has successfully grown into a seedling before applying fertilizer. The exact number of days cannot be determined because sometimes the plant grows into a seedling quickly and sometimes slowly. Do not fertilize it before it has successfully grown into a seedling. Its root system does not have the ability to absorb nutrients at this time. If you fertilize it at this time, it will easily cause root rot.

2. What to do with yellow leaves

There is more than one reason why the plant's leaves turn yellow after repotting. If you apply too concentrated base fertilizer during the repotting process, it will burn the roots. First, take out the plant and soak the roots with clean water. If you find that there is improvement, you can try to cut off its yellow leaves. If it is due to lack of water, you need to water it thoroughly to ensure the humidity of the breeding environment, which can shorten the time it takes for the seedlings to grow.

3. Notes on changing pots

1. Time selection: When growing baby's breath, it is usually necessary to repot it once every 1-2 years to ensure its growth. The time is usually chosen in spring and autumn, not in midsummer or severe winter.

2. Management and maintenance: After repotting, water to keep the soil moist. Do not let the soil be too dry, and ensure good ventilation. Place it in a place with weak light indoors and avoid exposure to the sun.
