Living green plants are an adornment for any home. But like all living things, plants require attention. Flowers need to be watered, fed, protected from disease, and also remember to replace depleted soil.
It is necessary
Pots, purchased flower primer, purchased drainage, wooden spatula, nail scissors, sharp knife, charcoal powder
Instructions
Step 1
Determine if your plant needs replanting by sticking a long wooden spatula between the ground and the side of the pot, as deep as possible in a circle. Shake the plant out of the pot. If the whole clod of earth is braided with roots, then the plant needs a transplant. If there are few roots, place the plant back in the old pot with some fresh soil. Repot the plant if you notice that the tips of the leaves are beginning to dry out or the roots are peeping out through the holes in the bottom of the pot.
Step 2
Consider transplanting time. Transplant evergreens in early March, when they are just awakening from stunted growth. Transplant plants that bloom in spring after flowering ends. If you need to transplant a plant with buds, then transfer it to another pot. Pull out the plant with a lump of earth, do not touch the roots, carefully place the flower in another, already prepared pot, sprinkle the earth around the edges. Water well.
Step 3
Prepare new pots - New pots should be a couple of centimeters larger in diameter than old ones. If pots are too large, the soil may acidify. Scald the clay pots with boiling water and immerse them in a bucket of water for 30 minutes to fill the pores of the clay pot with moisture. …
Step 4
Prepare soil for plants. Manured soil from the garden is suitable for transplanting flowers. Mixes of turf, peat, humus and river sand do it yourself, depending on the type of root system of plants that you plan to transplant. Bulk soil mixtures with peat and polystyrene balls, which retain moisture, are well suited for transplanting indoor flowers. Use special ready-made soil mixtures for plants that have special requirements for the composition of the soil.
Step 5
Pour purchased drainage, river sand and some soil at the bottom of the pot. Place the plant in a pot. Support the plant with one hand at the base, with the other hand sprinkle the earth along the edges of the pot, do not tamp it tightly. The soil should be a couple of centimeters short of the top of the pot for easy watering. Water the flowers after transplanting. Place them in a shaded area for two weeks.
