The best time to turn the pot is to miss it. You may not see it blossom.

The temperature has obviously begun to warm up in the past few days, and the best time to turn the pot in spring is coming. You must not miss the best time for growing flowers. Let's take a look at how to turn the pot for our beloved flowers.

Turning the pot is the most important thing for people who grow flowers in spring. For domestic potted flowers, every one or two years, the potted soil is easy to run out of nutrients or harden, coupled with the fact that the root system is full of pots, the growth of new roots is limited, and it is easy to get sick or infested, causing plants to stop growing, early defoliation, not blooming, and so on. These problems can be solved by turning the pot.

Our care of our own flowers and plants is in the work of turning pots in early spring.

Flowers are similar year after year, but pots are different from year to year. If you love flowers, you carefully change large pots, change new soil, add base fertilizer, and organize your roots, just like ventilating an airtight house and filling it with fresh air. Turning over the basin, for plants, means the rebirth of the growing environment.

Seize the best time to turn the basin

Timing is the most mysterious thing in nature. The best time to turn the pot is in early spring or late autumn. The early spring is generally chosen from the end of February to early March, and early April at the latest. Too early, it is easy to suffer frost damage; too late, the temperature rises, new roots have germinated, easy to lead to plant injury.

When the temperature is higher than 15 ℃ for three consecutive days, the buds begin to expand and the new buds have not yet unfolded, and the best time to turn the pot is up.

Herbaceous flowers such as chrysanthemum, begonia, lilac, eight immortal flowers, which grow fast, had better change their pots every year; woody flowers that grow relatively slowly, such as rose, jasmine, triangular plum, camellia, and succulent plants, can change pots every other year. The common indoor green ornamental plants, such as green pineapple, tiger skin orchid and so on, change the pot once in 1-3 years according to their growth.

The right way to turn the basin

Grasp the best time, but also need to master the right way to turn the basin. The following details make the basin turning steps clear, and the novice basin turning skills can also be fully scored.

Before turning the basin: choose the basin.

Don't miss the best time to replace beautiful pots in a year. Prepare your favorite new pot in advance and choose the size according to the size of the plant. The new pot is not the bigger the better, it is appropriate to leave a gap of 2-3 cm on the edge of the pot after putting it into the plant. If the basin is too large, it is not good to control fertilizer and water, but affects the nutritional balance of plants.

The new basin should be cleaned with a brush, and the old basin should also be sterilized and exposed to the sun for a few days to prevent eggs or bacteria from latent.

Stop watering a few days before changing the basin, and change the basin after the soil is semi-dry, which is the best for root protection.

When turning the basin: tidying up the roots and optimizing the soil

Choosing cloudy days or turning pots in the evening is more conducive to plant recovery.

Take the turning of the basin of the magnolia as an example. When changing the basin, loosen the soil around the basin wall and remove the whole plant and the soil together.

Divide overcrowded plants and remove old roots, dead roots, and overgrown roots. If the root is damaged greatly, the excess leaves and branches are cut off at the same time, which is beneficial to the recovery of the root system and the shaping of the crown.

Wash the roots, soak the roots with carbendazim to sterilize and kill insects, then dry them in a cool place for a few hours, then put on the basin.

When changing soil on the basin, the outlet at the bottom of the basin is stacked with two tiles in the shape of "in" to prevent stagnant water and facilitate ventilation at the same time. Then lay a layer of soil with larger particles, then lay a layer of pre-retted organic fertilizer soil (or nutrient soil), put it into the plant, and then continue to fill the new soil to 2-3 cm away from the basin mouth to facilitate watering and storage.

After completing the above steps, slowly water until thoroughly, until the water flows out of the basin bottom outlet, that is, "fixed root water".

After that, slow down the seedlings in a cool and ventilated place until the plants regain strength or produce new buds, and the slow seedlings will be considered after at least half a month. After that, according to the routine maintenance, the flowers will be particularly gorgeous!
