Houseplants are not only an interior decoration, but also a joy and a delight for the eyes.
The beneficial properties of indoor plants do not end there. Many of them have healing properties, produce oxygen, help improve memory, and provide vigor.
Caring for indoor flowers is not just watering. Plants require constant attention and care: fertilizing and replanting.
If you notice that a healthy-looking flower has suddenly started to wither and looks limp, the reason may be improper replanting.
To prevent the plant from dying, it is important to follow the transplant technology and not make the most common mistakes.
How to transplant flowers correctly
Transplanting plants has its own nuances, and often many gardeners make typical mistakes that lead to the death of plants.
Flower pot
A pot that is too big can cause illness and death of plants. Choose a new pot so that it is only 2-3 cm larger than the previous one.
A large pot will cause the above-ground part of the plant to stop growing. After all, the roots will have to fill the entire volume of soil. In this case, the plant will not be able to fully absorb water and rotting may begin.
Fertilizers for flowers
As for fertilizers, they also need to be carried correctly. Houseplants need to be fed 2-3 weeks after transplantation. The new soil is already saturated with nutrients and there is a risk of overfeeding the plants.
Winter transplant
Most plants are dormant in winter, and replanting during the dormant period will be very stressful for them.
You can replant plants if the soil is flooded or you see that the flowers are starting to rot, pests have appeared, or in other similar cases.
