Cattleya repotting method

Cattleya repotting method

1. Time to change pots

After 2-3 years of planting, the plant will continue to grow. If it continues to grow in the original pot, it will not be able to bear it, which will hinder its growth in the later stage. Generally, we repot in spring and autumn, or after the flowers have finished blooming. At this time, new roots have not yet grown. Repotting at this time can effectively prevent the roots and stems from growing outside the pot, and can also help the quality of the flowers blooming next year.

2. Repotting Method

1. Take the plant out of the original pot and use a small hammer to break the pot to avoid damaging the roots. Then use scissors to trim the roots, slowly remove the old and dead roots, as well as some surrounding sphagnum moss. Do not pull it out with your hands.

2. After taking care of the plant, replant it in the pot and replace the soil with new one. Make sure the new buds are facing the edge of the pot.

3. Place it in a semi-shaded environment within 2-3 weeks after planting, spray a little water on the leaves every day to maintain a certain humidity.

4. Wait until the roots have grown stably before starting to water. Watering too early will affect the growth of the plant.
