Change basin without root = white change

When changing pots, we should carefully check the growth of roots, and timely cut off rotten roots, diseased roots and empty roots, so that the roots can better absorb nutrition and grow fast and well. Huahua takes Clivia as an example to talk about the steps of changing pots and pruning roots

1. Clivia Basin

Stop watering 7 days in advance to facilitate the potting of Clivia and reduce root damage. First insert the stick into the soil along the edge of the flower pot to loosen the soil, and then separate the Clivia with the old soil from the pot

2. Remove the root soil

Gently remove the soil on the root with your hand, and let the root system be completely and clearly exposed. Carefully observe the growth of the root system to see if there are insects, rotten roots, etc

3. Pruning roots

Find a sharp knife, first use the fire to disinfect, and then cut off rotten roots, diseased roots, empty roots, long roots, etc., so as to avoid the symptoms of rotten roots, diseases and pests after changing the basin. If you don't trim the roots, you will really change in vain

4. Soak in Carbendazim and solution

After root pruning, put it into carbendazim solution, soak it for 20 minutes, take it out and dry it in a cool and ventilated place

5. Upper basin

Mix the river sand and rotten leaf soil evenly according to the ratio of 2:5. First lay a layer of soil on the bottom of the basin, then a layer of rotten chicken manure, and then sprinkle a layer of soil. Put the root system of Clivia into the soil, fill it with soil, gently compact it by hand, and finally pour water once, and put it under the scattered light to slow the seedling for one month

What problems should we pay attention to when changing pots

In addition to rooting, many flower friends have many questions about changing pots. Let's talk about it in detail today. Flower friends, come and have a look

1. When is it suitable to change the basin

It is suitable to change pots at the beginning of spring or the end of autumn. You can change pots at a temperature of about 20 degrees. It is not suitable to change pots in summer and winter. It is easy to get sick and rotten roots in summer and frostbite roots in winter

2. Is it better to change the basin in the morning or in the evening

Under normal circumstances, Huahua suggests that it is better to change pots in the evening. The sun is not strong in the evening, the temperature is relatively low, and the transpiration of leaves is also low, which is more conducive to serving pots

3. Do you have to cut off the water before changing the basin? How long will the water be cut off

Cut off water before changing pots, which is more convenient for plants to take off pots and reduce root damage. According to the size of flowers, generally large flowers should stop watering 15-30 days in advance; Medium sized flowers, cut off water 15 days in advance; Small flowers, cut off water 7 days in advance

4. How often do I have to change the basin

The frequency of changing pots is divided according to the size of flowers, such as small flowers such as green pineapple and Clivia, which can be changed once a year; Like fortune tree, happiness tree, peace tree and other flowers, just change them once in two years

5. What are the requirements for changing the flowerpot

The new flowerpot is larger than the old one, which can give the root system enough growth space and make the root system grow long. And drain holes

6. What else should I do after changing the basin

After changing the pot, if you find that there are more dense branches and more leaves, you can trim some branches and leaves with a knife, which can reduce the burden on the roots and make the flowers serve the pot as soon as possible. Never expose yourself to the sun. Just put it in a cool and ventilated place
