How to transplant the longevity flower
A tip for life, introducing knowledge about how to transplant longevity flowers and precautions after transplanting, here is a detailed introduction for you
The longevity flower can continuously grow as long as the temperature is suitable, and it can bloom continuously in autumn, lasting until April or May, with a very long blooming period. Many flower enthusiasts like to buy longevity flowers, but the ones we purchase are often in simple pots. We want to repot them because the pot is not attractive. How should we operate the repotting?
Actually, if we buy one with flowers, we should never repot it. Repotting can damage the roots and may cause the flowers to fall or fail to bloom. If you just plant it in the potting soil without any attention and then put it in a larger pot, it can easily cause waterlogging and root rot, ultimately leading to the death of the entire plant. Therefore, we need to use the correct method for repotting. It's best to repot after it has finished blooming, completely cutting off the remaining flowers during the process.
After cutting off the remaining flowers, we take it out of the potting soil, removing some of the soil. How? Just use your hands to grab, removing about 2/3 is fine, because the roots of the longevity flower are not many. Similar to other succulents, we remove more than half of the roots, exposing most of the root system, and then place it in a well-ventilated area to dry. How long should it be dried? Dry it for two to three days, don't rush to plant it. After two to three days, repot it, and the new pot should only be one size larger than the original one. When planting longevity flowers, never use deep or too large pots. The soil should be breathable and similar to its original soil. Plant it directly in the new soil. As long as we have dried the roots, we can water it immediately after planting, don't forget to add some root-promoting liquid to the water, which ensures it will adapt to the new pot quickly.
After planting and watering thoroughly, place it in a spot with scattered light and ensure good ventilation. When the soil surface is dry for one or two centimeters, water it thoroughly. It will quickly grow new fine roots. As long as new fine roots grow, it will grow rapidly. As long as we use the correct method for repotting, there won't be any issues. Also, we must choose the right time and remember not to repot in summer. High temperatures in summer can cause the plant to grow slowly or be in a semi-dormant state, which can easily lead to rot. It's best to repot during its vigorous growth or blooming season, so it can grow roots directly without any issues.
