When to transplant plants in spring? The flowerpot will tell you the truth. [KALENDARZ OGRODNIKA]

Most of us have at least a few potted plants at home. They can be a beautiful home decoration if we take care of them properly. One of the basic care procedures is spring replanting. The flowers are then stimulated to grow, and thanks to a larger pot and a new substrate, they can grow even faster and more abundantly.

When to transplant plants in spring? The best date is just around the corner

Plants should be transplanted when their roots outgrow the soil in the pot. If they grow in a confined, tight space, they consume the substrate faster and deplete nutrients. They may then grow slower or stop growing completely. It is a rest period for flowers, so right after it they begin to absorb nutrients and water from the ground more intensively. Therefore, you need to make sure that the substrate is suited to the plant’s requirements. Spring replanting is best done at the turn of March and April. More light will then be supplied to the flowers. If you transplant them too early, when the days are still short, they will become weak due to lack of light.

When to repot potted flowers? This is worth remembering

If you notice limescale deposits on the surface of the substrate, it is a signal that it is time to replant. The plant was watered with too hard water, so the soil is no longer suitable and needs to be replaced. Transplant the flowers into pots one size larger, a maximum of two sizes. By placing them in a pot that is too large, with room to spare, we can inhibit their growth. All the plant’s energy will then go to the development of the roots, instead of the growth of the ground part. Pots must have a drainage hole and a drainage layer. Otherwise, the flooded roots may rot. As drainage, you can use expanded clay, perlite, small pebbles, coarse sand or broken clay vessels.
