Changing the basin without trimming the root is tantamount to changing for nothing, and it is even more a dream to burst the basin.

Change the basin without trimming the root = for nothing

When changing pots, we should carefully check the growth of the root system, cut off rotten roots, diseased roots, and empty roots in time, so that the roots can better absorb nutrients and grow faster and better. Hua Hua takes the gentleman orchid as an example to talk about the steps of changing pots to trim roots.

1. Take off the basin of Cymbidium

Stop watering 7 days in advance to facilitate the de-potting of Magnolia and reduce root damage. First insert the stick into the soil along the edge of the flowerpot to loosen the soil, and then detach the magnolia with the whole old soil from the pot.

2. Clean up the root soil

Gently remove the soil from the roots with your hands, so that the roots can be completely and clearly exposed, and carefully observe the root growth to see if there are bugs, rotten roots, and so on.

3. Prune the root system

Find a sharp knife, first disinfect it with fire, and then cut off rotten roots, diseased roots, empty roots, overlong roots, and so on, so as to avoid the symptoms of rotten roots, diseases and insect pests after changing pots. If you don't trim the roots, it will be changed for nothing.

4. Soak in carbendazim and solution

After the root system is pruned, put it in carbendazim solution, soak it for 20 minutes and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

5. Upper basin

Mix the river sand and rotten leaf soil evenly according to the proportion of 2:5, first spread a layer of soil at the bottom of the basin, then spread a layer of rotten chicken dung, then sprinkle a layer of soil, put the root system of Cymbidium into the soil, fill the soil, gently compact it with your hands, and finally pour it through water for one month.
