II. Precautions During Potting Operations
1. Stop watering 3-5 days before repotting the plant, stop watering. Too wet potting soil is not conducive to repotting operations.
2. Keep more soil When repotting, only remove 2/3 of the soil from the outer roots, and do not change the soil in the middle of the roots to avoid bare-root repotting.
3. Prune roots When repotting flowers, it is necessary to prune the roots, cut off the long roots, rotting roots, and withered roots.
Proper pruning of the roots is beneficial to promote the growth of new roots. However, be careful not to prune the main root.
4. Do not repot frequently The potting operation should be determined based on the growth of the plant and should not be repotted frequently to avoid affecting the normal growth of the plant.
5. Choose the right time for repotting Different plants have different repotting times, and it is not correct to generalize.
Generally speaking, repotting is not conducive to the recovery of plant growth when the temperature is too high or too low.
Most plants can be repotted in March to April of spring. For example, Milan,茉莉花 (Jasmine), and Fusang.
Plants that bloom in winter or early spring can be repotted in autumn. For example, Changshouhua, plum blossoms, and hawthorns.
Cold-tolerant flowers can be repotted in winter or early spring. For example, roses. Let more flower enthusiasts know by taking action!
