Do I need to repot when shipping with original soil and pot
A comprehensive introduction to whether it is necessary to repot when shipping with original soil and pot in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
Do I need to repot when shipping with original soil and pot
Generally speaking, there is no need to repot when shipping with original soil and pot. You can first provide a suitable growing environment for it, and then repot after maintaining it for a period of time. Also, you need to check the condition of the soil. If necessary, you can also repot with the original soil, which can increase the survival rate. However, for the plants such as azalea, cyclamen, and Phalaenopsis orchid, it is absolutely not recommended to repot immediately.
Should I repot immediately after receiving the potted plant or let it adapt
There is no need to rush to repot if the plant is shipped with original soil and pot. Because the potted plants shipped with the original pot and soil have less root damage, and naturally have a higher survival rate. You can repot them during the autumn or winter dormancy period.
Especially for the potted flowering plants bought with flower buds, do not repot them first. If you find the original pot unattractive, just put it in another pot.
But if the online purchased plants are not shipped with original soil and pot, it is recommended to let them adapt first in the original pot soil and then repot them after they have adapted to the new environment, which can increase the survival rate of maintenance.
Do I need to repot a newly purchased orchid with pot
If the orchid is newly purchased, with original soil and pot, it is best not to repot it in winter. If you want to repot, wait until the orchid has rooted in spring.
Also, if the orchid seedlings are good after purchase, there is no need to repot. Although it has soil, it can be cultivated with soil, so there is no need to change the pot.
If you need to repot, try not to use the original pot soil again. Because after a year of growth in the pot, the original soil has basically no nutrients left. You should change the soil. Of course, when changing the soil, the part of the orchid's roots should be kept with some original pot soil, otherwise it will severely damage the roots.
Which potted plants should not be repotted after purchase
CyclamenBeginners should never repot cyclamen because cyclamen roots are relatively fragile. If the roots are damaged during repotting, it may cause flower and bud drop, or even rot the corm.
Phalaenopsis orchidMany people buy Phalaenopsis orchids and want to make them look more beautiful, so they often buy a high-end ceramic pot especially for them, match it with high-quality orchid stones, and then repot. However, the result is invariably that the roots rot and the plant dies within a few days.
Because Phalaenopsis orchid is an epiphytic orchid, it originally grows on the bark of trees. Its roots not only serve as a fixed role but also contain chlorophyll and can perform photosynthesis. Therefore, the Phalaenopsis orchids we buy are all planted in transparent nutrient bowls, and the medium is not soil but moist sphagnum moss.
Beginners should never repot Phalaenopsis orchid, and even changing the sphagnum moss can easily lead to death. Because beginners often do not master the moisture and density of the sphagnum moss well, it is easy to cause root rot due to excessive water or poor ventilation.
AzaleaFor beginners, as long as they do not repot or change the soil, azaleas are not easy to die, but if repotted, it is very easy to die due to poor control.
If you need to repot, be sure to wait until after the azalea flowering period and before the summer arrives. And it is best to only change the pot, not the soil. The gap between the pot and the original soil can be filled with deer fertilizer soil, and a little slow-release fertilizer can be added as a base fertilizer, and the surface can be covered with deer fertilizer soil.
