When the window sills and balcony are set with beautiful flowers, it's always nice to see and admire them. For good growth and development of plants, they need to be genuinely loved and caring. In order for the root system to develop properly, and the plant grows well, you need to learn how to correctly make a transplant and determine the period when you need to transplant room flowers.
Land for transplantation of indoor plants
There are different soil compositions for each plant. For some, it is necessary to strictly follow the formula for preparing the soil mixture, while for others the universal earth is quite suitable. You can buy ready-mixed soil, and you can mix it yourself, taking deciduous soil, humus, peat and sand. Many houseplants like the addition of wood ash.
Calendar for transplanting indoor plants
It is believed that not only is the month for transplanting plants important, but also a day. The energy of plants can vary depending on the phase of the moon. For each year a special lunar calendar is made for transplanting indoor plants. In each year are indicated favorable days of transplantation of houseplants, as well as periods when this can not be done strictly. For example, the new moon is always considered the most unfavorable period for transplantation. The most successful period, when the growth is particularly intense and most likely the plant will take root is the growing moon.
How to transplant indoor plants?
Although all plants are completely different and require an individual approach, there are a number of rules for conducting any plant transplantation.
- First, buy the right pot. Do not buy too big a pot for transplant. The difference between new and old pots should be no more than 1-2 cm. Ideally, the old pot should enter the new pot without any gap. Do not forget about the drainage holes on the bottom.
- Before you start replanting indoor plants, fill the bottom of the pot with drainage. It can be a crumb of foam, expanded clay or chopped seashells.
- Next, fill the ground layer with at least 2-3 cm. Calculate as follows: the root com must be completely covered with earth, but at the same time there should be at least 1-2 cm to the edge - this is the place for irrigation.
- Carefully remove the flower from the old pot and remove the old earth. Try not to damage the roots. If the roots are slightly rotten, they should be cut off. Cut the place of the cut with pounded coal.
- Move the plant into a new pot and set it well. When you finish filling the ground, complete the transplantation of indoor plants with copious irrigation. Then drain the remaining water from the pan.
