1. Repotting

Repotting is usually called turning the pot. Moving a potted plant into another pot to grow. Repotting is one of the important measures for growing flowers well. Many flower-growing enthusiasts often overlook this, thinking there is no need to change the pot, but this is not the case. Repotting is usually needed under the following conditions:

1. As the potted plant grows larger and larger, the original pot can no longer meet the needs of the flower or tree's growth and development, and it must be changed to a larger pot.

2. During the growth of flowers and trees, the root system continuously absorbs nutrients from the soil. Coupled with frequent watering and rain, the organic fertilizer in the potting soil gradually leaches away and decreases, leading to compaction of the shrub and soil and deteriorated permeability (that is, a lack of nutrients in the pot and soil). This is not conducive to the continued growth and development of flowers and trees, and the growing soil needs to be replaced.

3. If flowers, plants, and trees are diseased or have pests, they need to be repotted immediately.

Annual herbaceous flowers grow quickly, generally requiring 2-4 repottings from the seedling stage to the flowering stage. Multiple repottings can promote plant vigor and delay flowering. The final repotting is called "final planting." Perennial flowers (perennial herbaceous plants, such as green cherry, spider plant, etc.) are repotted once a year, and woody flowers once every 2-3 years.

The repotting time for perennial flowers and woody flowers usually occurs in autumn when growth stops or in early spring before growth begins. Evergreen flowers can also be repotted during the rainy season. Therefore, when air humidity is higher, less water evaporates from the leaf surface, and the effect after repotting is smaller.

If greenhouse conditions are suitable and management is proper, repotting can be done throughout the year, but it cannot be done when flowering or when flower buds are forming, otherwise the flowering period will be affected.

When repotting, lift the flowers and plants out of the pot, use bamboo to scrape away the old soil around the roots to remove about 1/3 or 1/2 of the old roots, coiled roots, and poorly growing roots near the edge of the pot. Trim properly with scissors. Perennial flowers can be combined with division.

For one- to two-year herbaceous flowers, when repotting, only a little of the soil ball should be removed from the surface, and generally no treatment is done, but be careful not to let the soil ball break apart when planting. After treatment, follow the above operating procedure and use a larger pot for the plant. If you still use the original pot, give it new soil and add nutrients. If the pot is not suitable for repotting, you can dig out the old soil on the surface of the pot and replace it with new soil, which can also achieve the effect of repotting.

After repotting, water must be applied so that the roots of the flowers and trees are closely connected with the soil. Afterward, the roots should not be overwatered. After repotting, most of the roots are injured and water absorption is reduced. Especially when pruning roots, overwatering makes it very easy for the roots to rot; after new roots grow, the amount of water can be gradually increased.

However, it is also impossible to let the soil dry out when repotting, otherwise it will easily die after repotting. After repotting, in order to reduce leaf evaporation, place the pot in a shady place for a few days, then gradually expose it to light, and then place it in a sunny place.
