Do potted plants have to be repotted regularly? How do I repot?

Potted plants should be repotted regularly, because when it grows for a certain period of time, the original pot and energy will be small, which will affect the further growth of the plant. In addition, since the soil of potted plants is fixed, and potted plants are usually kept indoors, which contain fewer microorganisms, oh critters, etc., and cannot provide sustainable nutrition**, it is beneficial to change the soil regularly. Potted plants, planted in a pot for a long time, may cause clumping of the soil, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant's root system.

Potted plants, planted in a pot for a long time, may cause clumping of the soil, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant's root system. So how do you repot potted plants? Repotting is usually determined by the growth of the plants and the degree of soil compaction.

If the plant is produced very slowly, usually does not require watering, and the soil is not very agglomerate, then there is no need to repot.

Usually the time to change the pot is in spring and autumn, and it is enough to change the pot only once a year and half a year. Changing the pot too many times will damage the rhizome of the plant, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant.

It is best to choose a rainy day when changing pots, because rainy days are not conducive to the evaporation of water, which can ensure that the plants will not die of lack of water when they have not fully adapted to the soil in the new pot. When changing pots, it is usually necessary to change the plant to another larger pot, or to replace the soil of the pot and plant it directly with the original pot. First of all, the soil in the pot should be watered thoroughly, and the water must be watered a little more at this time to make the soil soft enough, otherwise it is easy to damage the rhizomes of the plants when the plants are taken out.

After taking the plant out, if it is placed in a larger pot, the soil in the new pot should also be watered with water. Place the soil about a third of the way in the pot, then lay down the plants and pour in the soil to stabilize the rhizomes of the plants. When the soft soil fills the pots and then pour in the water, the soil from last night will gather together because of the water absorption, and the position of the soil will drop slightly.

At this time, add another layer of soil to fill the pot and water it again.

After changing the pots, put the plants in the shade for about a week, and then put them in the sun after a week to grow as before.

Personally, I think that the regular replacement of potted pots depends on the texture of the potted pots.

If it is a plastic pot, it needs to be replaced frequently, the advantage of plastic pots is that they are very cheap and easy to handle, and the disadvantage is that the quality is not good, and I don't know whether some substances in the plastic will have a bad effect on the plant.

If it is a pot made of ceramic or other materials, it should not need to be replaced regularly. Although the ceramic pot is higher than the plastic one, it is better to use it for a long time, beautiful, and after the potted plant has been raised for a long time, it is not suitable to transplant the potted plant. At least our potted plants have never been repotted, and they are still well maintained.

Of course, in the process of raising potted plants, there will definitely be pot breakage, and at this time, there are many places that need to be paid attention to in the process of changing pots.

When changing plastic pots, you can use a simple and rough way, that is, to break the plastic pots, you must know that the quality of the general plastic pots is not good, it is easy to get rotten, so it is the easiest to change the pots for plastic pots, but pay attention to get the roots of the plants.

There are many things that need to be paid attention to when changing pots of ceramic potted plants. Because the potted plant is raised for a long time, the soil is relatively compact, you can use the small shovel for raising plants to slowly loosen the soil along the outside of the potted plant, in other words, take a small shovel around the side of the potted plant, and then it is easy to lift the plant.

Of course, you can also choose a simple and crude way, using a hammer to break the ceramic basin, although it is simple and convenient, but it is necessary to clean up the subsequent ceramic fragments.

In the process of transplanting plants, pay attention to protecting the roots of plants, after transplanting to another pot, to ensure that the soil is loose, do not force compression, so that oxygen can enter the soil to be absorbed by plants, in addition, just transplanted plants do not water it too much. For a period of time after transplanting, it is important to check frequently to see if the plant is growing properly.

If the plant is not repotted, the root growth may be restricted, just like if someone wants to grow but you suppress it from growing. In addition, some soil fertility is not enough, and over time it is not suitable for plant growth, and the nutrients are increasingly insufficient, the quality will be reduced, and it is not good-looking, so occasionally changing the pot can give the plant vitality.

How do you know when to repot a plant?

1. You can observe the bottom of the pot to see if the roots of the plant come out of the bottom of the pot, if it comes out, it means that the pot is too small for its growth, and it must be a larger pot.

2. Observe the leaves of the plant to see its size, if the leaves are small and thin, or the color is relatively light, the yellowing may be that the soil nutrients are not enough, at this time, you can change the pot for some nutrients more nutrient soil or fertilization.

3. If you overwatered some time ago and found that the plant was a little rotten roots, you must immediately change the pot and loosen the soil, and the rotten roots should be cut off, otherwise it will be infected.

When is it better to change pots? Spring and autumn will be more suitable, the moisture will not be lost too quickly, and there is no fear of being frozen. However, some plants can also be changed in winter, do not change the pot in midsummer, the temperature is too high, the water loss is fast, and it is not easy to survive when changing the pot.

In addition, do not change pots during the vigorous growth period, flower bud stage, and fruiting period to avoid affecting its growth, and the consequences of missing the flowering period are also serious.

To change pots, you must first prepare pots, soil, gardening shears, pearlstone, and shovels. Gently cut the pot with scissors, depot the plant, and gently press the soil at the root with your hand to loosen the soil and sort out the roots. Leave the root size according to the size of the plant, the larger the plant, the longer the root, otherwise vice versa.

Remember to cut off the old and broken roots. Dead branches and leaves should also be cut off. If the soil is full, it should not be pressed too firmly.

1. The purpose of repotting is only to be able to correct the root system and replace the newly withered culture soil, and the size and volume of the pot do not change even if it does not matter. Next, let's talk about what problems should be paid attention to when changing pots.

2. With the growth of seedlings, the root system has been very developed, the root group has been covered with pots, and there is no room for growth in the original pot soil, so our potted plants will be limited by growth, and should be changed from small pots to large pots in time to expand the area of the roots, which is conducive to the continued growth of seedlings and plants.

3. The potted flowers that have been cultivated and formed by the full growth of the poor Jing Jing do not need to be replaced with larger pots, just because they have been raised for too many years, and the physical properties of the pot soil have become unfavorable to plant growth due to long-term watering, and the soil is cracked and cracked, and the air permeability is not good.

The important time to change the flower pot is to start replacing it in spring and autumn, but like some plants are more suitable in winter, the flowers that need to be replaced in the winter are resolutely not replaced in other seasons, which is most suitable for the sleep period of the plant, and the most suitable to replace the flower pot in the early growth period.

The most important thing is not to change the pot during the flowering period, because it is officially blooming at the peak time, if you choose to change the pot at this time, it will affect its growth, so that the flowers that should have bloomed do not bloom, so the consequences are quite serious.

1. From the perspective of season, there are two best seasons for plant repotting every year: spring and autumn). Some plants can also be changed in winter, that is, in December and January.

Spring repotting can be carried out at the end of February and early March when the temperature is high in the south, and mid-March to mid-April if the temperature is low in the north).

2. Spring is between the two seasons of stunning and Qingming, when potted flowers have just begun to sprout and grow, but they have not yet entered the peak growth season, which is the best time for potted flowers to turn over and change the soil. Too early, potted flowers have not yet germinated, easy to appear rotten roots, too late, flowers have entered the vigorous growth period, repotting and changing the soil are easy to hurt the roots, will also affect the growth.

3. The most unsuitable time to change pots and soil is in summer, and the high temperature and humid season are not conducive to the slow seedling and growth of plants.

4. For changing pots and soil, in addition to looking at the season, we should also look at the situation of the plant itself. For plants: the most suitable period for soil change is the dormancy period and the early growth period.

The period when it is most difficult to change soil is the slow seedling stage, the vigorous growth period, the flower bud stage, the flowering stage, and the fruiting period. Root and deciduous flowers can be repotted and turned over the soil after the leaves fall and before germination in early spring; Evergreen flowers such as junzi orchid, camellia, orchid and the like should not be too early after the temperature rises, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots.

1. If it is a new pot, soak the new pot in water overnight, wash and dry, because the new pot will be alkaline, and if it is not cleaned, it will affect the plant. If it is an old pot, put it in the sun for four or five hours to disinfect and sterilize the plant to prevent and control the infection of insects and eggs.

2. When changing pots, it is best not to transplant bare roots, and bring more old soil.

3. After changing the pot, it should be watered immediately, and it should be watered thoroughly, put it in a cool place for about half a day, and then it can be managed normally after the plant recovers its vitality.

4. To prune off some dead and diseased branches and weak branches, the root system grows too luxuriantly, so it needs to be pruned. (Before pruning the root system, the scissors should be sterilized and used, and the potassium permanganate solution can be soaked.) ）

5. When changing pots, it is best to wait for the potting soil to be half dry and half wet, so that the pot and the soil are easy to separate.

6. Plants that have just been repotted must not be fertilized, and some well-rotted organic fertilizer can be spread on the bottom of the pot, but it should be noted that the organic fertilizer cannot directly contact the root system of the plant. In addition to succulents, other plants are watered thoroughly after changing pots, and moved to a ventilated and shady place for maintenance for a week or two before they can slowly see the light.

7. After changing the pot, it is necessary to wait for the plant to adapt to 3 months before resuming fertilization, and to give thin fertilizer, the light should be increased slowly, so as to maintain the good growth of the plant.
