How to deal with the potted plants you bought, how to pot the potted plants after buying them

1. Processing

Clean it first. If you don't want to change the pot, you can just clean up the rotten and yellow leaves, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool place for maintenance. Newly bought potted plants should be kept away from direct sunlight and placed in a cool place.

2. Slow down the growth of seedlings

Place the potted plants in a cool and ventilated environment to allow them to grow slowly. Water them thoroughly and do not apply fertilizer during this period to avoid burning the seedlings and affecting their growth. Depending on the potted plants purchased, the degree of damage will vary greatly, and the time it takes for the seedlings to recover will also be different. Some may recover in a day or two, while others may take a month.

3. Put it in the basin

If you feel that the flowerpot or the soil in the pot is not suitable, you can consider changing the soil.

The specific operations are as follows:

First, prepare the right potting soil. Choose suitable potting soil according to the growth habits of the plant.

Secondly, remove the plant from the pot and prune it. The best time to plant the plants is on a rainy day or in the afternoon or evening of the day you buy them. When removing the plant from its original pot, shake off any old soil. Then cut off the old and rotten roots at the base of the plant. After that, soak it in disinfectant for about twenty minutes to kill the bacteria attached to the roots.

Finally, plant in pots. Some broken tiles, ash, charcoal, etc. can be put at the bottom as a breathable layer, and then a thin layer of flower soil can be spread. Then gently place the plant in the center of the pot and continue filling with soil. When all the roots are submerged in the pot, compact the surrounding soil with your hands and water it thoroughly. After that, place it in a warm, semi-shaded place and wait for it to adapt to the new pot.

4. Observation

During the seedling acclimatization period, adverse reactions such as yellowing leaves and falling leaves may occur. This is also a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. Be sure to understand the living characteristics of the plants you buy, mainly the light, temperature, water and fertilizer management and other conditions, so that the plants can survive the seedling period and adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.
