Don't rush to repot a newly bought flower, or it will soon wither and die

Many friends, after buying flowers, can't wait to repot their beloved plants into pretty, clean new pots.

Ceramic flower pots are a type many flower lovers favor; ceramic pots are attractive in appearance, durable, and come in many shapes, elegant and impressive. Unlike plastic flower pots, they don't weather easily over time, and plastic pots have extremely poor drainage, which easily causes root rot and dead seedlings.

But for a flower to become beautiful, just having a nice-looking pot is far from enough

Many flower lovers, when they pick out a plant they love, can't wait to repot it into a nice-looking ceramic pot. In fact, this practice is completely wrong and extremely harmful to your beloved plant

Due to the craftsmanship of ceramic flower pots, during firing all the moisture inside the pot is evaporated away, leaving the pot with "fire energy." A dry pot will draw moisture out of the potting soil, causing the plant to wilt from lack of water, or even wither.

Moreover, newly bought ceramic flower pots also contain harmful elements such as sulfur, so with the slightest carelessness the plant will inexplicably die, which also affects one's mood

Therefore, when you have just bought a new ceramic flower pot, do not transplant the plant into it immediately. First soak the pot in clean water for one to two days, then take it out and let it dry in a cool, shaded place. This method can remove the "fire energy," and then you can transplant the plant, which greatly helps the plant's survival rate.

Some people will ask, do old flower pots at home not need the "fire energy" removed? The answer is yes, but you can't be careless; you also need to do this step: sterilization.

Flower pots left unused for a long time will themselves pick up a lot of microorganisms and pathogens, which will cause newly bought plants to die from pathogen infection.

Therefore, when we choose an old flower pot to plant a new flower, we must first rinse the old pot clean, then soak it in a diluted disinfectant such as potassium permanganate for one to two days. Take it out, rinse it again, let it dry in a cool, ventilated place, and then it can be used normally.
