Why change pots and soil

Spring is the main period of plant growth. At this time, after a long time of growth, the nutrients in the old soil are reduced, there are hardened clots, and the space of the flower pot is insufficient, which will seriously affect the growth of plants in spring. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the pot and change the soil to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of plants

How to change the basin

The time for changing pots and soil is generally in spring. The flower pots are generally changed from small pots to large ones, and the culture soil should be replaced again, so as to promote the growth of flowers and even burst the pots

The times and period of changing pots vary according to different flower varieties

Such as Clivia, jasmine, rose, etc., generally change pots once a year; Orchids, camellia, Rhododendron, etc. can be changed once every 2 ~ 3 years

Steps for changing basin soil:

After the pot soil is slightly dry, you can put the flowerpot down obliquely and gently tap the edge of the flowerpot with your hand, which can separate the soil from the flowerpot

Gently hold the plant with one hand, and then use the other hand to excavate the ball from the top of the drainage hole

After taking out the plants, remove the old soil, and then trim the roots. The first is to clean up the topsoil, but not too much. Then cut off the old roots of the plant to make it easier for the plant to absorb new nutrients

The sorted plants can be put into the pot again. The plants can be placed in the middle of the flower pot, and the planting depth can be kept in the original condition. Then fill the new culture soil, compact the soil to make the roots in close contact with the soil, and then pour water

Tips

If the flowerpot used when changing pots is an old one, it needs to be disinfected. It can be washed with clean water and sterilized if possible. Soak it in 2% copper sulfate solution for about 3 ~ 4 hours, then rinse it with clean water and use it after drying

If a new basin is used, because the new basin has large water absorption and contains alkali, it needs to be fully soaked in clean water for about 1 ~ 2 days before it can be used< span>
