When spring comes, many flower lovers will buy flowers. They need to repot the flowers when they buy them. Even the flowers planted at home need to be repotted after a long time.

For example, many flower lovers like to grow gardenias, hibiscus, kalanchoe, Clivia, etc., and they all need to be repotted and re-soiled at a certain time. But when repotting, they will be entangled in a problem, that is, should they water the flowers after repotting? When should they water them?

When to water flowers after repotting

In general, most plants are transplanted with dry soil and watered immediately after transplanting . This watering mainly plays a role in rooting, which makes the roots fit fully with the soil and can take root more firmly. This is what many flower lovers on the Internet call rooting water.

At this time, be sure to water the newly repotted flowers thoroughly , and keep watering until water flows out of the holes in the bottom of the pot.

However, not all plants need to be watered immediately. Some plants that prefer drought and cannot tolerate moisture can be left to dry for a few days after being repotted before being watered.

In addition, what you need to pay attention to after repotting flower pots is: if you use wet soil for planting, let it dry in the sun for five to seven days after repotting and then water it after the soil is dry .

Do not water too much, which will cause water accumulation. Repotting is an adaptation process for plants. If there is too much water, the plants will not be able to accumulate water, which will seriously affect the acclimatization process.

①Control sunlight

After the plants are repotted, they cannot be kept directly in the sun. If they are suddenly exposed to strong light, the plants will be sunburned, causing a large amount of water to evaporate, affecting the survival of the plants.

After the plants are transplanted, they need to be kept in a cool place with diffuse light . After the plants gradually adapt and begin to grow normally, they can be exposed to sunlight and moved to the sun for maintenance.

②Fertilization issues

After the flowers have just been repotted, the roots have not yet taken root, and the absorption function is very poor at this time, so fertilizer cannot be applied immediately. We can wait until the growth is stable in the later stage, and then gradually apply fertilizer to supplement nutrition.

③Keep ventilation

After repotting, we need to place the plants in a well-ventilated location and maintain good air circulation. A stuffy and hot place is not conducive to acclimatization.
