How can flowers grow well without changing soil? These 3 steps are very important, don't forget in spring!
Spring is a good season for plant growth, according to experienced flower friends, if you want to make the plant grow better and more lush, it is best to change the soil of the plant in March and April. After all, the plant has been growing in the pot for a year, and the nutrients in the soil are basically lost, so if the plant is planted for a long time, it is not good for the growth of the plant.
The climate and other conditions in spring are relatively good, and changing the soil at this time can also improve the survival rate of plants, so flower friends must not forget this important thing in spring, and at the same time do not forget the three steps in changing pots.
Plants should stop watering a little earlier before repotting, and when the potting soil is semi-dry and semi-wet, they can be depotted and repotted. Because the potting soil is too wet to be unpotted, too dry and too scattered, it is not easy to get off. When depotting, you can warp the potting soil with the help of a stick, and then grab the roots and pull it out with the soil. You will find that there is not much soil, most of it is the root system of the plant, which means that the organic matter in the surface soil has been absorbed by the plant.
Check the roots of the plant, some are rotten, some are dry, and some are too long to prune off together, and then wash the root system with water, this is to remove the residual eggs on the roots, you can also wash with disinfectant water, and it is not bad to disinfect casually. If the plants are still to be planted in old pots, the pots should also be washed and then allowed to dry in the sun to disinfect.
After the premise work is completed, the next step is to change the soil. First of all, put a few tiles on the drainage outlet of the flower pot, which is to ensure the ventilation of the flower pot, but also to discharge the water in time, to prevent the soil from being in a closed environment, which is very harmful to the root system of the plant. Add a layer of fine sand or small stones to the tiles, which is considered a transition layer, in order to prevent the soil from slipping through the cracks of the tiles, and it would be better if you could find cinders.
The soil is best to use humus, humus is also convenient to take, and contains a lot of nutrients, first cover a little, the height is half of the pot, and then the roots of the plant are flattened into the middle of the pot, and the rest of the space is filled with humus. Do not compact the soil after mulching, just water.
Ten days before the soil change of the plant should be placed in a cool place, pay attention to the new soil plant should not be fertilized too quickly, because the plant has not completely adapted to the new environment, too early fertilization will not only not be absorbed, but also may harm the plant.
