Do these four things when repotting these 3 flowers, or repotting them is pointless
Clivia (Clivia miniata), orchids, and snake plants (Sansevieria) are three very popular ornamental plants right now, and they are also well loved by many people. They need to be repotted once a year to grow more vigorously. So when repotting, remember to do these few things well, otherwise repotting them is pointless.
Why repot once a year? Because these three flowers have relatively thick roots and grow very fast. If they are not promptly given a larger growing space and fertile soil, it easily leads to slow growth and yellowing leaves, reducing their ornamental effect.
So what points should be paid attention to when repotting?
Point one, removing from the pot
Removing from the pot also requires skill. Smashing the pot directly is very wasteful, since household flower pots are not disposable, and some are even very expensive. So you need to master some techniques. 3 to 5 days before removing from the pot, stop watering to let the soil dry out a bit more, which makes it easier to remove from the pot. Otherwise, if removing from the pot does not go smoothly and the roots are damaged, repotting is pointless.
Point two, root pruning
But when repotting, if you do not prune the roots, it is also as good as pointless, because during the plant's growth, its roots will rot and become aged. So you have to prune the roots. These diseased roots and old roots must be cut off. When replanting, this prevents other roots from being infected and rotting, which is more helpful for growth.
Point three, disinfect promptly after root pruning
Although some old roots, diseased roots, and rotten roots have been cut off, the roots should also be promptly disinfected with carbendazim solution to prevent infection and rotting again after being planted in the soil. After disinfection, let them dry thoroughly, then replant.
Point four, not only replace the flower pot but also replace the soil
If one soil is used for a long time, the soil's nutrients are exhausted and the nutrition becomes even more poor, so it is not suitable for the plant's growth. Therefore, new flower soil should be replaced to make the flower roots grow faster and more vigorously, improve disease resistance, and promote flowering. Also, when replanting, it is recommended to retain one third of the original soil, so the plant can adapt to the new environment better and faster, and only then can it grow more vigorously.
