One of the important activities for caring for indoor plants is transplanting. Transplanting is most favorable in early spring. At this time, the body of a houseplant goes into a period of active growth after winter. In addition, daylight hours are getting longer. Flowers take root easily, quickly adapt to a new "place of residence".
All manipulations with transplantation, cuttings of indoor plants are most desirable to carry out on the days of the growth phase of the moon. Houseplants depend on the influence of the lunar rhythms. The phases of the moon, during which the transfer is favorable, coincide with the dates indicated in the lunar calendar.
Transplantation is not carried out during flowering, since during this period the shoots are most weakened. The days of lunar eclipses are considered especially unfavorable. Transplanting flowers at this time can destroy them. At this time, it is better to leave the flowers alone.
To transplant plants you will need:
- workplace (table)
- suitable land (buy at a flower shop)
- drainage
- flower pots of the right size
- spatula
- newspapers
- the transplanted flower itself
- rubber gloves
- watering can
The procedure for plant transplantation:
We cover the workplace with newspapers so as not to stain it with earth. We put gloves on our hands. Check for drainage holes in the flower pot. In their absence, we "perforate" ourselves (at least four holes).
Put the drainage in a prepared empty pot on the bottom, the drainage layer should be 1/5 of the pot. Pour a layer of earth on top of the drainage with a spatula, the volume of the earth is calculated based on the transplanted plant.
We water the plant with the soil in advance, so that it is more convenient to remove it from the pot. Turn the potted plant upside down, hold the plant with one hand, and remove the pot with the other. We do not shake the earth from the roots. We install in a prepared new pot with earth in the middle. We take into account the planting depth of the plant so that it does not "sit" too deep in the pot. Sprinkle the plant evenly on top with a layer of earth to the level of the flowerpot, slightly compact.
We make moderate watering of the plant. We leave the houseplant alone. The pot should be placed in the shade. We observe the plant for a week. Watering at this time is not necessary. You can spray the plant periodically.
The main "ingredient" for transplanting indoor plants is your sincere love, warmth and care. Then your pet is not afraid of a transplant.
