Prepare phaseBefore transplanting houseplants, we need to do the following preparations:
1. Choose the appropriate transplantation time: It is usually suitable to transplant in spring or autumn when the temperature is moderate, and the plants grow vigorously and recover quickly.
2. Prepare a new pot: Choose according to the plant's growth needs and pot size, ensuring that the new pot is 2-3 times larger than the original pot to provide enough space for plant growth.
3. Purchase an appropriate amount of nutrient-rich soil: Choose soil types suitable for plant growth, such as leaf mold soil, peat soil, etc.
4. Prepare tools such as scissors, gardening spades, and watering cans.
Transplanting steps1. Clean the roots: Before transplanting, use scissors to cut off the dead leaves and diseased leaves of the potted plants, then gently dig out the plants with a gardening spade, shake off excess soil, and expose the roots.
2. Trim the root system: Observe the roots and cut off any rotting or dry roots to prevent the spread of diseases.
3. Plant in a new pot: Place the pruned plant in the new pot, adjust the position to make the plant upright.
4. Fill with soil: Use nutrient-rich soil to fill the pot, making the plant's root zone level with the soil and gently compact the soil.
5. Watering: Water thoroughly after transplanting to help the plant recover from growth.
Precautions1. Avoid direct sunlight: The transplanted potted plants should be kept out of direct sunlight and placed in a shady place for care.
2. Control watering: In the early stage of transplantation, water moderately to avoid overly moist soil, which can lead to root rot.
3. Gradually adapt: Within a month after transplantation, gradually increase sunlight and watering to help the plant adapt to the new environment.
