When is the best time to repot potted flowers?

Time to repot potted flowers

There are many varieties of potted flowers. The main reason for repotting is that if the soil is not repotted for a long time, it will become hardened and the nutrients in it will be consumed. Therefore, it is necessary to repot in time. Generally, newly purchased potted flowers do not need to be repotted immediately.

The time to repot different varieties of potted flowers is also different, but it is generally recommended to do it in spring or autumn. The temperature in these two seasons is suitable and the climate is stable, which is more conducive to the recovery of the plants.

Methods and steps for repotting potted flowers

1. Treatment before repotting

Stop watering potted flowers before repotting so that the plants can be removed from the pots more easily. Then take the plants out of the original potting soil intact and trim the old and rotten roots appropriately.

2. Prepare the flower pot

The new flowerpot you choose for potted flowers should be slightly larger. It depends on the variety, size, and growth conditions of the plant. It should be larger than the previous pot.

3. Choose soil matrix

Most potted flowers prefer loose, fertile and moist soil, but there will be slight differences between different varieties. You can make your own soil or buy special soil in a flower shop.

4. Basin operation

Dry the processed potted flowers in the sun, then plant them directly into new potting soil. Cover them with soil and compact them lightly. Water them appropriately to keep the soil moist.
