Do I need to repot the original soil and pot when it is delivered (will the seedlings still need to be repotted after the original soil is purchased)

Should I repot the potted plants immediately after receiving them or should I slow down the seedlings?

There is no need to change the pots in a hurry if the plants are delivered with the original soil and pots . Because the roots of the plants delivered with the original pots and soil are not damaged much, the survival rate is naturally high. You can change the pots in the autumn or winter dormancy period.

Especially if you bought a flower pot with buds, don't change the pot first. If you think the original pot is too ugly, just put it in a new pot.

However, if the plants you buy online are not delivered in their original soil and pots, it is recommended that you first let the seedlings grow slowly and adapt to the new environment in the original soil before repotting them. This will increase the survival rate.

Do I need to repot my newly bought orchid?

If the orchid is newly purchased, with the original soil and pot, it is best not to change the pot in winter . If you want to change it, wait until the orchid is acclimated to the pot in spring .

In addition, if the newly bought orchid has good buds, there is no need to repot it. Although it comes with soil, it may be able to be grown in soil, so there is no need to repot it.

If you want to repot, try not to reuse the original potting soil. Because after a year of growth, the original potting soil has basically no nutrition. You should change the soil. Of course, when changing the soil, the orchid's roots should be partly covered with the original potting soil, otherwise it will be very damaged.

Which flowers and plants cannot be repotted after purchase?

Cyclamen

Novices who buy cyclamen should never repot them, because the root system of cyclamen is relatively fragile. If the root system is damaged by repotting, the flowers and buds may fall off at the very least, and the bulbs may rot at the worst.

Phalaenopsis

Many people buy Phalaenopsis and want it to look more beautiful, so they often buy a high-end porcelain pot for it, match it with high-end orchid stone, and then change the pot. But the result is without exception, the roots will rot and die in a few days.

Because Phalaenopsis is an epiphytic orchid, it originally grows on the bark of trees. Its roots not only play a fixing role, but also contain chlorophyll, which can carry out photosynthesis. Therefore, the Phalaenopsis we bought are planted in transparent nutrient pots, and the medium is not soil, but moist sphagnum moss .

Beginners should not change the pot when planting Phalaenopsis. Even if they only change the sphagnum moss, it is easy to kill the orchid. This is because beginners often cannot control the humidity and density of the sphagnum moss, which can easily cause waterlogging or airtightness and suffocate the roots.

Azalea

For beginners, it is not easy to kill azalea as long as you don’t change the pot or the soil. However, if you change the pot, it is easy to kill it if you don’t control it well.

If you want to repot, you must wait until the azalea's flowering period is over and before summer arrives . And it is best to only repot without changing the soil . The gap between the flowerpot and the original soil can be filled with Kanuma soil, or a little slow-release fertilizer can be added as base fertilizer, and Kanuma soil can be used on top.
