Can I change the pot during the orchid season?

1. Can I change the pot?

When Mo Lan has flower buds, that is, it is in the flowering period, you cannot change the pot at this time. If you change the pot at this time, the flower buds on it will fall off, which may easily damage the plant, and it will be difficult to recover normally later. The normal time for repotting can be chosen at the end of the flowering period, that is, in spring, especially around the Qingming Festival. This is a more suitable time for repotting, as the climate is relatively mild and will not irritate the plants. In addition, the plants are in the germination stage, so it is easy for them to recover, which is more beneficial for their later growth.

2. Repotting Method

1. Remove the plant: Stop watering it a few days before repotting it so that it can easily get out of the pot. First, use a shovel to walk around the perimeter, then hold the plant with one hand to remove the old soil accumulated on it, trim the roots, remove some old and rotten roots, and then place it aside to dry.

2. Prepare the soil: The newly prepared soil must have good drainage. It can be mixed with peat soil, coarse sand and gravel, pine needle soil, and leaf mold to achieve the best effect. You can also use soil mixed with orchid stone and dead bark, and dry it in the sun after mixing.

3. Planting: First fill a layer of soil in the flowerpot, then straighten the plant and plant it in, and then fill in the rest of the soil.
