When is it good to repot orchids, and when is it appropriate to repot orchids

Orchids are good to repot in early spring.

First, the time to change the pot.

It is recommended to change the pot time of the orchid in the spring, specifically between March and April, when the temperature is more suitable and the repotting can reduce the damage to the orchid. Alternatively, you can choose to do it between September and October in the fall. Be careful to avoid hot summers and cold winters, as it is difficult for orchids to potter in high and low temperature environments.

2. Depotting and root trimming.

It is best to cut off the water in advance for orchids that are ready to be repotted, so that they are easier to depot. When unpotting, first tap the perimeter of the pot, then turn the orchid upside down and carefully remove it. After removal, the surrounding soil is removed to expose the root system.

It is also necessary to prune the root system, cut off some rotten and dry roots, and keep the healthy roots. Reasonable pruning promotes better absorption of fertilizer and water in the later stage, which is conducive to potting and rooting. After pruning, the wound should be coated with a sterilization and disinfection agent, which is a good sterilization.

Treat it and put it in a cool place to dry the wound before putting it into the soil.

3. Prepare potting soil.

It is best not to use the soil used in the original orchid and prepare new soil. The soil must be soft, breathable, well drained, and have a certain fertility. If you can't mix the soil well, it is still recommended to buy special soil for orchids.

In addition, prepare a slightly larger one for the pot.

Fourth, plant in pots.

When planting orchids, make sure that their roots are evenly distributed in the soil and do not become entangled. After filling the soil, gently press the soil, and water it thoroughly in time to soak the soil. After planting, maintain in a ventilated and cool environment, do not bask in the sun, and do not accumulate a lot of water.

The most suitable time for orchids to be repotted is generally spring and autumn, when the orchid plant is in the mature stage, and the damage rate can be reduced to a minimum.

In the first half of the year, it is best to have the spring equinox to the valley rain, when the flowering period is over, the leaf buds have not yet germinated, and they are not susceptible to frost damage, so they can be turned over in time.

In the second half of the year, it is best to fall from the autumn equinox to the frost, the orchid will enter a dormant state, then the pot will affect the growth of the orchid less, after the winter rest and recuperation, nutrient accumulation, to the spring can be very good flowering and germination, master the orchid branch reproduction time, is also an important part of the maintenance of orchids.

Extended Materials. The orchid in the traditional Chinese famous flower only refers to several species of native orchids distributed in the Chinese orchid genus, such as Chunlan, Huilan, Jianlan, Molan and Hanlan, which are commonly referred to as "Chinese orchids".

This kind of orchid is very different from the tropical orchid with large and colorful flowers, no eye-catching showiness, no huge flowers and leaves, but it has a simple and quiet, elegant and noble temperament, which is very in line with the aesthetic standards of the Orientals. It has been cultivated in China for more than 1,000 years.

Orchids are good to repot in early spring.

Orchids are suitable for repotting in the early spring of each year, when the temperature is more suitable for the growth of orchids, which can make the plants better adapt to the environment, and after changing pots for orchids, they can water mineral-rich lake water for plants to keep the soil moist, and can also provide all-day sunshine for orchids and provide a warm growth environment for plants.

How to repot orchids:

1. Choose a flower pot.

When giving orchid pots, choose new pots that match the size of the plant and are breathable enough. In general, you can choose a pot that is slightly larger and deeper than the root system of the plant. Flower pots can be clay pots or purple clay pots.

2. Depotting.

Once you have chosen the pot, you can take the orchid out of the old pot. Place the pot horizontally, then squeeze one hand out of the drain hole in the pot and hold the orchid with the other hand so that it doesn't fall to the ground. After that, pat the bottom of the plant with your hand to remove any loose flower soil on it.

3. Repotting.

Fill the prepared new pot with a layer of crushed stone as a drainage layer, then fill it with some soft and breathable planting material, then put the orchid plant in the new pot, and bury it with the remaining new soil so that its roots are all on the surface of the soil. After that, the soil surface is compacted, and it is watered again until it survives.

Orchids are suitable for repotting in the early spring of each year, when the temperature is more suitable for the growth of orchids, which can make the plants better adapt to the environment, and after changing pots for orchids, they can water mineral-rich lake water for plants to keep the soil moist, and can also provide all-day sunshine for orchids and provide a warm growth environment for plants.

1. Change pots in early spring

Orchids are suitable for repotting at the beginning of spring each year. The temperature at this time is more suitable for the growth of orchids, and the plants can adapt to the environment as soon as possible after changing pots, and the temperature in early spring is too low for bacteria and viruses, so the probability of disease in changing potted orchids at this time is reduced, so it is appropriate to change pots in early spring.

2. Provide moisture

Orchids are suitable for growing in a more humid environment, so after repotting, they can provide unpolluted river water or natural water for orchids, keep the soil in a moist state, and also pay attention to the amount of watering when providing water for orchids, so as not to water too much water for the plants, resulting in rot of orchid roots.

3. Supplemental lighting

Orchids are inseparable from light in the process of growth, and insufficient light will lead to poor growth of orchids, but too strong light will also burn orchid leaves and fail to grow normally, so it is necessary to provide suitable light for orchids when maintaining them, and shade the plants in time when the light is too strong.

4. Reasonable fertilization

Orchids have a greater demand for nutrients during the growth process, so when maintaining orchids, it is necessary to provide different nutrients for them according to the different stages of plant growth. Nitrogen fertilizers can be used during the period when orchids are more vigorous, fertilizers based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used before and after the flowering period of plants, and well-rotted organic fertilizers can be used during daily maintenance.

Orchids are generally suitable for changing pots in the spring of each year, and the time to change pots can generally be selected between March and May.

Orchid repotting time.

Generally, newly bought orchids need to be repotted, because the quality of the pots bought is relatively poor, and there are not too many drainage holes, so it needs to be replaced with a pot that can drain water.

Orchids are generally suitable for changing pots in the spring of each year, and the time for changing pots can generally be selected between March and May, and the right weather should be selected when changing pots, and it is more suitable for changing pots on sunny days.

Orchid repotting method and steps.

1. Treatment before repotting

Usually, when repotting an orchid, you should first shake off the old soil that it has sung or make trouble, and then prune its branches and roots properly, so that it can be planted.

2. Prepare flower pots

When changing flower pots, it is generally necessary to choose the right flower pot, preferably with a certain drainage hole at the bottom, so that the water can be discharged in time when watering, and will not lead to root rot.

3. Select the soil substrate

Generally, orchids do not have very high requirements for soil, so when changing pots, you only need to choose fertile sandy soil with a certain drainage capacity.

4. Potting operation

When potting, you need to put some soil in the pot first, then put the orchid in the middle, and slowly spread it with soil until the roots are covered.

The repotting time of orchids is generally in early spring, when the damaged root system is easier to recover and will not be infested by germs and insect pests. Prune off the rotten and aged roots during repotting and soak in disinfectant water for an hour; Replant in suitable soil and it will regain growth in about a week.

Orchid as a flower with high ornamental value, so when to change the pot of the orchid, its best time to change the pot is in early spring, the temperature is more suitable during this time period, the nutrients consumed by the orchid itself are relatively low, the damaged roots are easier to recover, and the recovery time of the roots of the orchid is about a month.

In early spring, there are fewer pests and diseases in the soil, and the chance of being infected by pathogens is reduced during the recovery of the plants, and there are basically no pests in the soil in winter, because the pests are still hibernating, so there is no need to worry about the orchid being attacked by insects.

When changing pots, it is necessary to properly prune the roots, prune off the rotten and aging roots, comb the healthy roots, soak the roots in disinfectant water for disinfection, and the disinfectant water should not contaminate the leaves of the orchid, and put it in a cool place to dry after an hour.

When potting orchids, you need to choose the right soil, generally with humus layer soil with perlite, and then put a small amount of peaty soil to mix, this soil can be used for about 2 years, you can not change the pot, but also conducive to the drainage of the root system of the plant, put the dried orchid into the new soil, after a week it can adapt to the new environment.
