Preface
Spring is a season full of life, and at this time, many flowers also enter a stage of rapid growth. For many flower lovers, spring not only means watering plants in time, but also an important job, that is, repotting and root trimming of flowers. Among the many flowers, spider plant and junzi orchid are undoubtedly two plants that are much loved, they not only have good ornamental effect, but also have tenacious vitality, and are the first choice for many people to raise flowers. So, when spring comes, how should we repot and trim the roots of spider plants and junzi orchids? Next, let's find out.
First, the importance of repotting and root trimming
# 1. Promotes plant growth
Spring is the peak season for plant growth, and it is also the best time to repot and prune various flowers. Timely repotting and pruning can not only help plants better absorb nutrients, but also effectively promote the growth of plants and allow them to thrive.
# 2. Keep your roots healthy
The root system of the plant is the foundation of plant growth, and only when the root system is healthy, the plant will be able to absorb water and nutrients better. Timely repotting and pruning can effectively promote the growth of the root system and help plants establish a healthier root system.
# 3. Improve disease resistance
The root system is one of the vital organs of plants, and a healthy root system means better disease resistance for plants. Through timely repotting and pruning, the occurrence of pests and diseases can be effectively reduced, so that plants have a stronger resistance.
Second, the repotting and root trimming skills of spider plant and junzi orchid
# 1. Repotting and root trimming of spider plants
(1) Choose the right potting soil
Spider plants prefer loose and fertile soil, so when changing pots, you can choose a mixture of peat soil and humus soil as potting soil, which can better meet the growth needs of spider plants.
(2) Pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilizer
It is not recommended to fertilize the spider plant for a period of time after repotting, so as not to damage the delicate root system of the spider plant. After the plant gradually recovers growth, you can apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer, every half a month or so.
(3) Reasonable pruning of leaves
When repotting, the leaves of the spider plant can be properly pruned to remove abnormal growth or yellow leaves, which can reduce the nutrient consumption of the plant and allow the spider plant to better adapt to the new growth environment.
# 2. Repotting and root trimming of Junzi orchid
(1) Pay attention to protect the root system
The root system of the orchid is relatively delicate, so it must be very gentle when changing the pot and try not to damage the root system. You can choose soft planting materials with loose and good air permeability, such as humus soil, decaying bark, etc., as potting soil, which can better protect the root system of Junzi orchid.
(2) Avoid sun and rain
Within a week after repotting, you can properly control the light and watering of the orchid to avoid exposure to the sun and rain, and give the plants a time to adapt.
(3) Prune the stumps and leaves in time
The leaves of the orchid are relatively wide and easy to accumulate dust and dirt, so in the usual maintenance process, the leaves can be properly cleaned to maintain the ventilation and light transmission of the leaves, which is conducive to the photosynthesis of the plant.
epilogue
Repotting and root trimming is a very important part of the flower maintenance process, and only timely repotting and pruning can make flowers have a better growth state and ornamental effect. For spider plants and junzi orchids, spring is undoubtedly the time when they need to be repotted and pruned the most, and only at this time can they better help them spend a healthy summer. Therefore, in the daily maintenance process, we must pay more attention to the growth state of the plant, find the problem in time and deal with it, I believe that in this way we can cultivate a pot of strong spider plant and junzi orchid.
