The correct way to repot potted flowers in spring: no damage, no death, and they'll burst with new growth in the blink of an eye

Spring is here, and many people are busy changing the soil and repotting their flowers, having a wonderful time of it. But after repotting, some time later, they're stunned: instead of seeing the potted flowers grow quickly, the plants are nearly wilting and withering. What should be done? Today we'll talk about this issue

Repotting flowers in early spring can leave them on the verge of death. This is usually caused by low root vitality, poorly aerated potting soil, or overwatering leading to root rot, and it may also be caused by improper care or unsuitable temperatures

In spring, all things revive, and it is the peak growing season for plants. But in early spring, temperatures are still relatively low, so repotting at this time is not recommended. It is best to repot in March or April, when the temperature is more suitable for plant growth, growth is faster, and roots recover quickly too

When repotting, to reduce damage to the root system of potted flowers, you can put the plant with its soil into water and soak the soil loose, thus minimizing root damage

Then trim off the hollow and rotted roots. You must disinfect them: soak them in a carbendazim solution or potassium permanganate solution for two hours so the roots are fully sterilized and disinfected. Then repot, and rot will be much less likely to occur

The soil for potted flowers generally needs to be loose and breathable. For example, you can mix and use peat soil, perlite, vermiculite and so on. Peat soil can provide the nutrients plants need, perlite allows water and air to pass through, and vermiculite absorbs and retains water.

Take the plant out of the carbendazim soak and let it air dry a little, then it can be potted. After potting, place it in a shaded spot to recover for about a week. Once the potted plant regains its vigor, you can then water and care for it normally,

and then we can care for it normally according to the plant's habits
