When is it better to change the pot of orchids, and what should I pay attention to?

Orchids can be repotted in addition to summer throughout the year, and the repotting here refers to the division of seedlings and planting materials. In the spring, autumn and winter, the farmers carry out excessive seedlings, new planting, and planting material changes, so let's talk about them separately.

First, the spring seedlings are the most common, and the spring orchid seedlings are quickly potted and easy to produce new roots. However, it is rainy and humid in spring, so it is necessary to ensure that the potting soil is dry after changing pots, and to strengthen ventilation to prevent diseases. Generally, new roots will emerge in more than 20 days, followed by leaf buds.

Second, change the pot in autumn seedlings or new planting, the autumn plants are gradually converging, the damage to the orchid plant in autumn is smaller than that in spring, but the new root generation time is longer than in spring, and the new root point can be seen in about 40 days.

3. Change pots in winter (to ensure that there is no freezing), orchids have a long potting period, and basically do not produce new roots. Judging by the growth of new seedlings and buds, once potted, new roots and shoots will be born quickly in the next spring. In winter, the orchid is in the dormant period, and repotting will cause less damage to the half of the plant, allowing the orchid root to adapt to the potting soil environment for a longer time.

The orchids that the farmers repot in mid-December only find new roots in March of the following year, and the new leaf buds grow very quickly, and they are generally strong grass by August.

1. The best time to repot orchids should be in early spring, if you calculate the lunar calendar about the twentieth day of the first month, choose the temperature of about 10-15 degrees, the temperature at this time is more suitable for repotting, and the injured root system is easier to recover.

2. Spring is the beginning of the growth of all things, this time period to change the pot of orchids, the temperature is relatively low, the water and nutrients consumed by the orchid itself will be relatively low, which is conducive to the self-healing of the injured root system, and the recovery of the orchid root system is about 10-30 days to complete the recovery.

3. Another advantage of changing pots in early spring is that there are very few pests and diseases, and there are very few bacteria in the soil, in the process of self-healing of the injured root system, the probability of infection is reduced to a minimum, and there are fewer pests, most of the pests are still in hibernation, as long as you change the pot method, it can basically be said that it is how to change, how to live the realm.

4. There is a more important condition for orchids to be repotted, that is, flower soil, the highest standard for planting orchids should be humus bark plus large particles of perlite plus a little peaty soil, with this kind of flower soil to repot orchids, the biggest advantage is that the service life is relatively long, and it can be used for up to two years without changing pots. Permeable and breathable, the pH is also very suitable for the growth of orchids. The quality of the soil determines the height of orchid ornamentation.

5. Because there are many varieties of orchids, the area of China is very large. Temperatures vary greatly across the country, and flowering periods vary dramatically. Regardless of the flowering period, early spring is the best time to repot orchids, and it is enough to not delay the normal flowering.

6. In summary, changing pots in early spring, there are fewer pests and diseases, which is conducive to self-healing of the root system, and the whole self-healing process is completed in a semi-slow process. The survival rate is greatly improved, and it does not affect the growth and flowering after the beginning of spring. Personally, it is recommended that the first pot change in early spring is the best, after the first watering after the pot change, it can be kept moist continuously, and do not irrigate it every time.

It is not conducive to slowing down the growth of seedlings.

1.Orchids should be repotted in the spring, when the climate is suitable, so that the plants can adapt to the new potting soil environment more quickly and resume growth.

2.And after the temperature rises in spring, the plants also begin to sprout, at this time need sufficient nutrients and good air permeability soil, so that the new shoots can grow better, and the plants can grow more vigorously in the later stage.

3.When changing pots, prepare larger than the original pots, the soil should be loose, well-drained and contain humus, and attention must not be used clay heavy soil.

Repotting orchids should be done in spring and autumn, and only after the climate warms up in spring. It cannot be done when the weather is cold. When changing pots, the plants should be taken out of the pot first, and the soil should be properly loosened before depotting, so as not to hurt the roots.

Use scissors to cut off the rotten root system, sterilize it, prepare new potting soil, and place it in the semi-shade. At this time, 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 potting 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, accompany the bright to master the orchid branch reproduction time, but also an important part of the maintenance of orchids.
