These 4 flowers go a year and a half without repotting, the potting soil gets completely eaten up, and it would be a miracle if they still grew well

More and more people are growing flowers now, and growing flowers is actually a technical skill. If we do not understand the habits of flowers well enough, it is rather difficult to grow a pot of flowers well. We all know how important soil is for flowers, most of the nutrients they spend come from the soil. If we want to grow flowers well, we just need to manage the soil of our flowers well. There are four kinds of flowers that just need frequent repotting, because if they go a year and a half without repotting, the roots of these flowers will eat up all the potting soil, leaving no soil in the pot. In this situation, it would be a miracle if the flowers could still grow well. So which flowers are they exactly? Let us introduce them to you one by one below!

The first kind, gardenia

Gardenia is a typical southern flower. Although its roots are not fleshy roots, the gardenia's roots have a very strong growth capacity. Anyone who has grown gardenias knows that gardenias are very prone to yellowing leaves, leaf drop, flower drop and other problems. Although these problems are also somewhat related to fertilizing, watering and light, the biggest cause may come from the soil being depleted. Especially during the flowering period, when gardenia buds do not develop well, most of the reason is the problem of soil depletion. For gardenia, it is recommended to repot once a year, prune off those useless fine hair roots, and then increase the amount of potting soil, so that our gardenia can regain its vitality!

The second kind, clivia

We all know that clivia has fleshy roots, and clivia's roots are very fragile, but this does not stop clivia's roots from growing. Clivia's roots can be said to be very well developed, and in about a year they can fill the entire pot. It also eats soil heavily. Generally, if the soil is not changed for a year, clivia can eat up most of the soil, so there is no source of nutrients left. Therefore, we recommend changing clivia's soil once a year too!

The third kind, pothos

We all know that pothos grows very fast, which also means that pothos' roots grow very fast, because only with a sufficiently large root system can it provide enough nutrients for rapid growth. That way, soil consumption also speeds up. If we find that when watering, the potting soil does not retain water, and as soon as we water, it drains straight down, that means the soil has been more or less used up. We need to repot as soon as possible to increase the amount of soil. It is recommended to repot once a year and a half!

The fourth kind, spider plant

Like pothos, spider plant can grow very fast, and that is because spider plant's roots are also very strong. Moreover, at a certain point, spider plant's roots can also grow into fleshy roots. If we have done well in the other aspects and still find that the spider plant's growth has clearly slowed down, then at this time we should check the potting soil. Generally, this situation is because the soil has basically been eaten up, there is no nutrient supply, and when watering, the water cannot be held either. So we must repot in time. The recommended repotting frequency for spider plant is once a year!

Now that all four of these have been covered, have you grown all four of these flowers? Have you usually run into the problem of the potting soil being eaten up?
