How long does it take for orchids to survive after transplanting
You may not know how long it takes for orchids to survive after transplanting and the correct method for transplanting orchids in green plant flower planting. Please see the detailed introduction below.
After a period of planting, as the plant continues to grow, it will face the problem that the original pot cannot meet the growth needs of the plant, which requires pot changing. The same is true when planting orchids. How long can the newly potted orchids adapt to the new pot? And how to determine whether the orchid has survived?
Ⅰ. How long does it take to adapt to the new pot
The time it takes for orchids to adapt to the new pot after repotting is not constant, as it varies with different growing environments and plant sizes. Under normal conditions, it can be determined whether the repotted orchids have survived within 1-3 months. However, surviving doesn't mean they have adapted to the new pot. It's necessary to continue observing. If the newly potted orchids show good growth and their leaves become stronger and more vibrant after another three months, it indicates that the orchids have fully adapted to the new pot. At this point, you can start fertilizing and continue with normal maintenance.
Ⅱ. How to determine if it has survived
Since it takes at least a month to determine if orchids have survived after repotting, it's necessary to observe after 20 days of repotting. First, check if the old leaves are turning or wilting. Also, observe if new tender leaves are growing from the center of the leaves. If there are no abnormal phenomena and new leaves have grown, it indicates that the orchids have fully survived.
To increase the survival rate of orchids after repotting, you can trim the roots before potting, cutting off all old and diseased roots. After that, disinfect the roots and make sure the potting soil is also disinfected before use.
