Begonia repotting precautions repotting steps (root pruning, root drying, watering)

Things to note when repotting Begonia

The crabapple should be repotted in spring and autumn when the weather is mild. Try not to repot in summer and winter. Too high or too low temperatures will make it difficult for the crabapple plant to adapt. The survival rate of repotting in spring and autumn is relatively higher.

When repotting crabapples, it is best to choose pots of appropriate size. Generally, larger seedlings should be transplanted together with the soil at the roots. When repotting crabapples, do not plant them too deep in the pot. When the temperature is too low, move the crabapples to a warm place and pay attention to keeping them warm.

Key points for repotting Begonia

1. Root pruning and drying

When repotting the crabapple, the pruning and drying of the roots needs to be determined according to the situation. Generally, the crabapple can be repotted after being cultivated for a period of time. The longer and poorer roots of the crabapple need to be pruned during the growth period, but do not move the plant at will in the early stages of the growth of the crabapple.

2. Watering

Do not water the crabapple immediately after repotting. Wait for a while before watering, but make sure to water thoroughly to increase the survival rate of the crabapple. After this watering, wait until the soil of the crabapple is completely dry before watering again, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place.

3. Soil for repotting

The soil commonly used for crabapple flowers after repotting is a mixture of leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand. You can also choose to use prepared nutrient soil. After repotting crabapple flowers, mix several different soils and apply a small amount of fertilizer, the effect will be better.
