If you want to change the soil for the potted plant, how to change the soil quickly without hurting the root?

People who have raised flowers and plants at home know that for plants, the state of the soil will directly affect the growth of plants, so in addition to paying attention to maintaining the internal fertility conditions of the soil, it is also a very important link to change the soil where plants grow regularly.

Although the change of soil should not be too frequent, changing the soil for plants once a month or two is beneficial to plant growth. Because plants will consume nutrients in the process of growth, the nutrients in the soil will continue to decrease with the absorption of plants, and finally exhausted can no longer provide energy for plant growth. So what do you need to pay attention to when changing soil? A friend often told me that I should always be careful when changing soil, for fear of hurting the roots of the plant. This is indeed a problem, so what can be done to avoid it?

1. First of all, when choosing the soil to change the soil, we should pay attention to the material that is similar to the previous soil composition, so that the adaptation time of the plant will be shortened accordingly, so that the plant can enter its normal growth stage more quickly. If you really can't find the same composition as the previous soil, for example, the soil composition is a little difficult to buy on the market, or you don't know what the soil used to grow potted plants is, at this time, you can find the kind of soil suitable for potted plant growth on the Internet, or go to the florist to ask the manager for relevant information. In short, the more specific the question, the better, and the details cannot be omitted.

two。 When changing the soil, we need to dig the roots of the plants out of the old soil with a shovel. It can be said that this is a technical job, if you are impatient, you'd better not try, because if you are not careful, it is easy to break the roots of the plant. Although there may be more roots in plants, the loss of one root will affect the supply of plant nutrients, so be careful.

3. In the choice of container specifications, it is best to choose the same size as the original, so that the amount of soil will be about the same, but also more suitable for the size of plant roots. If it is a plant with smaller branches, it is best to choose a shovel with smaller specifications, which will reduce the probability of injury to the roots and reduce the difficulty of operation. In spite of this, can not be completely relaxed, it should be noted that when digging the roots, the action must be gentle and slow, must not be in a hurry.

After transplanting to a new environment, be patient when covering the soil, accumulate the soil bit by bit until the rhizome is surrounded, and then slowly pat and compact with a shovel. As for the follow-up watering work, there is no need for me to say more.
