Transplantation favorably affects the growth, reproduction and beautiful appearance of home flowers. Read about how and when to do this.

Transplant Features

Transplanting houseplants is not only moving a flower into a new pot, but also updating the soil. Land for green crops is the main breeding ground. Young domestic flowers up to three years old must be completely replanted every spring (end of February - end of April), mature - do not touch three years.

Transplant methods:

1. Partial Replaced with a fresh topsoil (up to 5 cm). Large plants are especially in need of such a procedure every six months. When removed from the flower's container, the main thing is not to damage the roots, even the thinnest.
2. With transshipment. When the roots begin to peep through the top layer of the earth in the pot, it's time to transship the plant into a larger container. The flower is taken out along with the roots and a lump of earth and transplanted. Add fresh substrate, watered with settled water.
3. Complete. Produced in case of depletion of the substrate. The roots are washed with water. Dead and diseased areas are excised.

Transplanting certain types of flowers

Indoor plants are always stressed when moving to a new place. A flower to a flower.

Transplant time depends on the type of culture:

1. Early flowering is transferred to fresh soil after flowering. Otherwise, the buds will fall off.
2. Bulbous - after the end of the dormant period. Otherwise, the roots will begin to rot, and the ground will turn sour.
3. For conifers - the best time is February. Do not have time - wait for the summer. After the growth of the plant, you can begin to transplant.
4. Plants from the store is a separate issue. They are saturated with nutrients to preserve the presentation for several months in advance. Do not transplant them immediately. Food should be enough for a long time.

Algorithm of actions after the purchase:

1. Examine plant content information.
2. Inspect the roots of the flower. Damaged areas excised. Sprinkle slices with charcoal powder.
3. Leave alone for 1-2 months in order.
4. After adaptation, transplant the flower into the pot wider by transshipment method. Pour and cover with a transparent object: bag, plastic packaging, etc.

Transplant pot

It plays an important role in the well-being of the plant. Plastic containers are good for young and small flowers. Clay, ceramic - for tall.

The choice of capacity also depends on the root system. For example, in palm trees the roots grow deep. An elongated and narrow space is suitable for them. In small pots, flowers with a small root system will be comfortable.

Training:

1. New ceramic pots are thoroughly washed, the inner walls are poured with boiling water, poured with water and left overnight.
2. Old containers are washed and treated with acetic acid to remove residual salts.
3. In pots with a continuous bottom, drain holes are made so that excess water has a place to drain.

What else do flower growers need to know about transplants?

Transplanting does not eliminate pests. Invisible to the eye, larvae and eggs can migrate to fresh soil with roots. The first month after transplanting, the plant is watered less often than usual. The roots will seek water and multiply rapidly.

Top dressing is administered after 1-2 months. Indoor plants better tolerate transplantation if they are sprayed with anti-stress sprays once a week during this period: Epin, Zircon, etc.

Florists are convinced that during transplantation with plants you need to talk. So they feel the care of the owner and more easily adapt to the new "house" ..
