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 should be repotted, and autumn is best between cool autumn and October.
Because at this time, the new plant has basically developed and matured and has not yet been dormant, and the trauma caused by repotting is easier to recover, and the impact on germination and flowering in the following year is small. Orchids need to be repotted once every two years, and early and frequent repotting is not conducive to the growth of orchids.
Some orchids cultivated in small "orchid pots" grow well, and when the orchid seedlings reach more than six seedlings, they should be repotted once a year.
For those orchids that are not growing well and the leaf tips are seriously dry and scorched, there may be rotten roots, or the soil may not be adaptable. At this time, the pot should be changed in time. Emergency repotting can be done at any time, but care must be taken to keep warm and moisturizing after repotting.
Extended Materials. Husk charcoal is made from rice husks, and when changing pots, this can not only make the flower roots more and stronger, but also grow faster and the leaves greener.
Husk charcoal, also known as chaff in the south, is a black charcoal-like substance left behind by smoldering rice husks that have not burned out. It is loose and sterile, with good air permeability and water absorption. The chaff charcoal is fired at high temperature and used to plant orchids, and the orchid plants are not easy to get pests and diseases.
Husk charcoal is rich in potassium, phosphorus, calcium and other nutrients, containing potassium 5 10, phosphorus 1 4, and fertilizer effect is fast. As we all know, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can not only promote the growth of new root tissues, but also strengthen roots, nourish roots, and prolong the life of roots.
The addition of chaff charcoal to the mixture not only relaxes the soil, improves the soil structure, facilitates drainage, and improves soil temperature, but also promotes the photosynthesis of orchid plants, is conducive to the synthesis of carbohydrates, is conducive to the growth of orchid roots, prevents orchid lodging, and improves the ability to resist pests and diseases.
Chaff charcoal is alkaline when fresh, and should be left for many days or exposed to the sun and rain for a period of time after firing, so that it is neutral before use. The proportion (volume ratio) of chaff charcoal mixed with human orchid mixture should be 10 30.
If it is used for planting Ye Yilan or as a material for attracting art, fresh chaff charcoal can be used directly, and the proportion can be increased to 30 40, and the soil alkaline is conducive to the preservation of Ye Yilan.

The repotting time is after flowering, with spring orchids around late March and chuilan in early May. Autumn spring orchid in late October, and orchid in early November. Through years of maintenance, the orchids that have been repotted in these two periods have adapted to the new environment very quickly.
Half a month before repotting, fertilize the orchid, the effect of root fertilization is relatively slow, and it needs to be one month before repotting. Foliar fertilizer is very efficient, as long as it is sprayed a week before. After the orchid is transplanted in a new environment, there will be a period of potting more or less, during which the orchid root will stop working, which will consume the nutrients of the orchid plant and cause the orchid seedlings to retreat.
Proper repotting can make orchid seedlings grow more vigorously. Especially in autumn, after the growth of orchid seedlings from spring to summer, the root system is often crowded with pots, and the nutrients in the soil are also consumed by the growth of new seedlings. At this time, changing the pot can be combined with repairing the stump and changing some new planting materials, so that there is more nutrient soil in the pot.
Extended Materials. Precautions.
1. The repotting time can be selected in the dormant period of orchids, which has the least adverse effect on the growth of plants, and it is better to change pots in spring.
2. Stop watering for 10-20 days before depotting, and then depotting after the soil is dry. Be careful not to injure the root system during the period.
3. Loose and fertile, slightly acidic soil with good drainage performance should be selected, and the original soil should not be used continuously.

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 generally repotted in early spring, when damaged roots are more likely to recover and are not infested by germs and pestsPrune off the rotten and aged roots during repotting and soak in disinfected 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 also 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 do not contaminate the leaves of the orchid with disinfectant water, and dry them in a cool place 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, and it can adapt to the new environment after a week.
The repotting time is after flowering, with spring orchids around late March and chuilan in early May. Autumn spring orchid in late October, and orchid in early November. Through years of maintenance, the orchids that have been repotted in these two periods have adapted to the new environment very quickly. >>>More

Orchid belongs to the perennial herbaceous plant of the Lycoris family, its leaves are broad, green, bright and beautiful, it is a relatively elegant flower potted plant. If the orchid grows slowly, has fewer leaves, and has not bloomed for a long time, then it is necessary to see if the orchid needs to be repotted and soiled. If it is a small seedling, the potting soil is fertile and loose, and the size of the pot is appropriate, so there is no need to change the pot, if it is an old Junzi orchid that has been raised for a year or two, the growth is not good enough, the pot is small, and the soil is not good enough, so you need to change the pot and change the soil in time. >>>More
