Transplant plants are a key part of keeping them healthy. When a plant grows too large for its current container, its roots can be damaged or suffocated, resulting in slower growth and unhealthy appearance. To avoid these damages, you should transplant the plants from their current pot to a larger one. Although this process is important, it can also be dangerous and traumatic for plants, so it is advisable to do so with care.
The plants are not adapted to the transplant, because in their natural habitat there is no one to go, take them out of the earth and put them in another place. Therefore it is important to observe them to know when their activity decreases, that is, when their rate of growth goes down, because when that happens, then it is time to transplant them.
How to transplant plants
- At the time of transplant plants, leave the plant without water for a couple of days to dry the soil.
- After being dry the soil should be knocked around the pot with the hands, turning the pot with one hand and holding the plant with the other, this way the root will come out of the pot and we can see if the plant Needs more land.
- If the soil or root is very attached to the pot, it is because there is a large amount of roots and little soil, so the transplant should be done as soon as possible.
- To transplant the plant requires a pot of a larger size than we have, you must have at least about 2 cm.
- In the new pot, you should place a handful of gravel to help improve the drainage, and then we will put the plant with your root ball to take the height, so we know the amount of land that we have to cast on the gravel so that the Plant remains at the desired height.
- After the new pot is ready, place the plant in the center, filling the holes and gently squeezing with the hands until the plant is firm.
- When the transplant is finished, we will water the plant with plenty of water.
