What Mistake Inexperienced Florists Make When Transplanting Plants: You Won't See Flowering
Very often, after such a seemingly useful procedure as replanting, indoor plants change completely - they stop blooming, their leaves become smaller, and their stems begin to rot.
The reason is that flower growers overlook such an important point as preserving growth points.
Let us remember that the growth point of deciduous plants is the place from which new shoots and leaves appear.
If you plant the flower stem too deep during transplantation, the growth point will end up underground.
Most often, this mistake is made in relation to spathiphyllum, anthurium, caladium, aglaonema and others.
Thus, the risk group includes plants that have virtually no stem, and leaves on long petioles attached directly to the root.
After the root collar together with the growth point is buried, the flower stops developing.
For this reason, when adding soil to a flowerpot, try not to cover the delicate and rot-prone area with it - the myristem tissue that makes up the growth point develops well only in the light.
