When it comes time to repot a plant from a small pot to another, many questions always arise.
This is not surprising, because even one careless movement can lead to damage to the plant.
Therefore, it is worth considering several tips that will help you transplant plants without serious damage to their health, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
The pot and soil must be prepared in advance.
Before you begin replanting, you need to make sure you have a new pot of the right size and enough soil.
This will help to avoid unnecessary delays in the process and provide the plant with comfortable conditions for growth.
It is important to remember that the new pot should be 1-2 sizes larger than the previous one to provide the plant with enough space for root growth.
Preparing the plant
Before repotting, the plant should be watered. This will help reduce stress on the roots and make it easier to remove the plant from the old pot.
It is also important to carefully go around the pot with a knife or trowel to loosen the soil from the sides of the pot and prevent damage to the roots when removing.
Root release and replanting
First of all, you should make sure that the roots are separated from the pot.
Next, you need to get the old plant out, holding it by the bottom, you can use a shovel for this. The roots can be carefully held by hand.
When replanting into a new pea plant, it is important not to apply force, as it is very easy to break the roots or stems.
After the plant is placed in a new pot, the free space should be filled with soil. However, compacting the soil is unacceptable, as this can damage the root system.
Watering and care after transplantation
After replanting, the plant should be watered generously to provide its roots with enough moisture to adapt to the new pot.
After this, the plant should be placed in the shade for a while and for a few days to give it time to recover from the stress of transplantation.
You shouldn’t put it in the sun right away, because the plant needs at least one day to adapt to the new growing conditions.
