indoor plants transfer it is done to improve nutrition (the soil in the pot is depleted over time), as well as to better aerate the soil in the pot.

But before transplanting a plant, you need to make sure that it needs a transplant, and also pre-purchase or make an earthen mixture that meets the requirements of the transplanted plant. What is it in outward signs plants to determine if it needs a transplant?

A transplant is a must:

1. The first sign of a transplant may be cessation or slowdown in plant growth. Some plants show signs of frailty, the tips of the leaves begin to dry out, the leaves turn pale, fall off. The reason for this may be not only small pot or depleted soil, but also pests, for example, enchitreus, centipedes, earthworms, mower larvae.

2. The plant has grown strongly and the pot has become unstable, above-ground part outweighs the root.

3. An earth lump is so permeated and braided with roots that it has turned into solid felt. The roots began to crawl out of the pot through the top or drainage hole.

4. During irrigation, water is very poorly absorbed into the soil. This may mean that the root system of the plant has completely occupied the volume of the pot.

5. The plant began to disappear - the leaves wither and turn black. In this case, the transplant Ambulance for a dying plant. This most likely means that the roots have already begun to rot and die.

6. If watering is too abundant, when the soil in the pot does not have time to dry out, it turns sour. To improve the soil, as well as to save the plant from the development of root rot, you need to transplant.

9. In variegated forms of indoor plants, green leaves appear on all shoots or with a very pale color. The reason for this may be not only a lack of light, but also depleted soil.

Young, fast growing plants, for example, blue passionflower, dracaena, chlorophytum, tradescantia, arrowroot, alocasia, sheffler, calathea are transplanted annually, large tub plants need to be transplanted once every four to five years, palm trees require transplantation once every five to ten years. If the plant is already an adult, then transplantation can be done once every two to four years, based on the conditions of detention and the requirements of the plant, being content in the intervals between transplants with a partial replacement of the top layer of soil.

When is the best time to repot houseplants?

Transplanting is best tolerated by plants in the spring. when all parts of the plant come out of dormancy and begin to grow. It is at this time that the transplanted plant quickly adapts, the root system will quickly recover and will absorb moisture and nutrients from fresh soil. During transplantation, add a few hydrogel granules to the earth mixture.

Transplantation is done in March-April, sometimes in May, based on when the plant goes from dormancy to growth. Tender plants are transplanted later. In May, it is recommended to transplant poinsettia so that it blooms in December. However, a plant that has already begun to grow will not tolerate a late transplant associated with damage to the roots. Plants, blooming in spring, such as clerodendrum, are transplanted after flowering.

In warm rooms, transplanting of indoor plants begins to be done earlier than in cold ones.

In summer, plants tolerate transplanting worse., a autumn, and especially winter, transplant is betternot to do healthy plants, however, fast growing houseplants such as asparagus, tradescantia, chlorophytum can be transplanted throughout the year without damaging the roots. This transplant is called transshipment, as it is made without damaging the earthen coma.

Starting in September, transplanting plants that have a dormant period in winter should be avoided.

In summer, after spring growth, conifers are transplanted. In June-July, at the end of the first growth, camellias are transplanted. Bulbs are transplanted at the end of flowering.

The exception is plants that were planted in the garden for the summer. Anyway, let me give you some advice: indoor plants planted for the summer in open ground desirable transplant in august when the temperature outside and in the room is the same. This makes it easier for plants to adapt, and the root system is still able to absorb enough moisture, so the risk of flooding the plant is much less.

Throughout the year, you can transplant indoor plants just purchased from the store. This is, so to speak, a necessary measure. If the transplant is done correctly, then the plants will practically not suffer and after a while they will feel much better. Also throughout the year, you can transplant diseased and disappearing plants. If they are not transplanted, then they can simply disappear.

It is better to wait with a transplant if your plant has gained buds or is already blooming. You should not transplant, even if the houseplant is very crowded in a pot, just try to compensate for the lack of soil with nutritious dressings. If you take a chance and transplant a flowering plant, then it will receive severe stress, all buds and flowers will wither and fall off, after such stress the plant recovers for a long time.

Therefore, wait until the plant has faded, the plant will have a dormant period between flowering. During this period, the transplant will not harm the plant, on the contrary - expect new flowers soon.

How to transplant indoor plants

Complete transplant- this is the movement of a plant from one flower pot to another, larger in size, or the same one, if it is suitable in size, with a complete replacement of the earthen mixture. With a complete transplant, all the old land is removed due to the complete uselessness of the land.

Incomplete transplant- when part of the earthy coma remains on the roots of the transplanted plant.

Sometimes, if a transplant is not possible, you can do partial replacement top soil in a pot or tub.

In order not to damage the root system of the plant during its transplantation, thoroughly soak the soil in the pot beforehand. After a few minutes, once the water has run out, carefully turn the pot upside down and, holding the plant with one hand, gently tap the bottom of the pot. This is usually enough to get the plant out of the pot.

But sometimes there are difficulties: if the pot is clay, then the roots can stick to the walls of the pot. In such cases, you will have to break the clay pot. If the pot is plastic, then you can cut the bottom with a pruner or use a knife. Carefully, trying to damage the roots as little as possible, separate the earth lump from the walls with a knife, only in this case, damage to the roots, alas, cannot be avoided.

In large plants growing in tubs, the hoops are first knocked down, and then the wooden parts of the tub are carefully separated.

Now carefully inspect the root system: you need to cut only damaged, dry, sluggish roots, roots with dark brown spots. These are diseased roots, they need to be cut back to a healthy white or yellowish tissue. It is advisable to treat all sections of large roots with crushed coal to prevent their decay.

Try to unravel the tangle of roots formed at the bottom of the pot. A mesh of tiny roots or felt that cannot be untangled must be cut sharp knife. You can prune a little the roots that crawled out into the drainage hole and do not fit in a new pot, pruning small roots provokes their growth, and as you know, it is these small roots that absorb nutrients from the soil and nourish the entire plant.

If the plant has a fibrous root system, then when transplanted into new ground thin roots will quickly recover, and the plant will quickly recover after transplantation. The roots are also pruned when transplanting bonsai, in order to maintain the balance of the root system with the deciduous crown.

When transplanting plants with thick or underdeveloped roots, extreme care must be taken, since such roots not only cannot tolerate pruning, but even the slightest damage to them.

Orchids, acacias, palms, bulbous, some conifers, cyclamen, hedichium, chlorophytum, cacti, succulents require very careful handling during transplantation.

After the roots are in order, take a new pot. If the plant is young, then you need to take a slightly larger pot for it, but not by much, since most indoor plants grow better when they are cramped.

Sick plants, on the contrary, are transplanted into smaller pots. In this case, all the earth in the roots is cleaned, the roots are washed with water, the diseased roots are cut to a healthy tissue, sprinkled with coal powder and planted in a light, permeable earthen mixture. Flower pot after a diseased plant, it must be disinfected before you start using it.

Don't forget about a drainage layer of 3 to 5 cm. Fill the pot with fresh earth mixture to one quarter of the pot. The composition of the soil mixture must meet the requirements of the transplanted plant. If you are transplanting a large plant - a tree or shrub, then you need to take care of the stability of the pot.

Add more to the earth mixture river sand: this is the heaviest material that can be used without fear of harming the plant. Since the plant is large, the next transplant will be in 4-6 years, and the sand will not allow the soil to cake, it will remain permeable, and keep the roots of the plant from waterlogging and decay. Ideally, you can focus on next rule: the mass of the plant should be one third of the mass of the pot with earthen mixture, only in this case the pot will be stable.

Then place the plant so that it is centered in the pot. The transfer will be correct if top part an old earthen clod will be 1-2 cm underground. Carefully pour the earth mixture between the roots into the pot. Compact the soil with your fingers, leaving no voids around the roots.

By the way, a less tight fit contributes to better growth plants, denser tamping of the earth in a pot contributes to better flowering. But in practice, a rather loose fit is usually obtained. Palm trees require dense planting.

It is not necessary to fill the pot with earth to the top, leave the sides free, otherwise the water will pour out of the pot when watering, and it is more convenient to take the pot. After that, water the plant with boiled settled water.

If you started replanting plants, then bring the matter to an end, otherwise the excavated plant begins to dry out under the influence of dry air, quickly fades, which adversely affects the survival of plants.

After transplantation, if possible, create a greenhouse effect for the plant: put it in a greenhouse or simply cover it with a plastic bag to create gentle conditions for the transplanted plant. Transplanted plants shade from direct sunlight, it is advisable to observe high humidity air in the room.

Start the first top dressing no earlier than two months after transplantation. There are enough nutrients in a fresh earthen mixture, and if you add additional fertilizers, you risk burning tender young roots that have just begun to grow.

Very large plants growing in large tubs find it difficult to repot or repot every year, and sometimes repotting is not possible at all. In such situations, you can do a partial replacement of the top layer of the earth mixture.

To do this, remove upper layer potting soil as far as possible and replace it with a new potting mix enriched nutrients. Such an operation can be done twice a year - in spring and autumn. Without this, large plants can simply die.
