Generally speaking, if you want to change your luck, you can put a satisfactory flower pot at home. At this time, your heart will surely be filled with anticipation and joy. When a person's aura changes, then comes the continuous good luck. However, it should be noted that generally, newly bought flowers should not be repotted immediately, especially for delicate and precious flowers such as phalaenopsis and azaleas. It is even more necessary to avoid changing the potting soil within the first three months. Let's briefly discuss below what kind of phenomenon this is and what is the reasoning behind it?
Take the more commonly raised phalaenopsis as an example. Newly brought back flowers often need time to adapt to the new growth environment. Because they were originally in the flower shop environment, there might be air conditioning in summer or humidification equipment in winter to create an environment for them. Therefore, in order not to stress and make the plants uncomfortable, the potting soil should not be changed after bringing them home.
In addition to the growth environment, there is also the factor of the root growth cycle. According to the root habit of phalaenopsis, it generally takes at least three months to adapt to the new growth environment. Therefore, if the potting soil is changed too frequently and too early, it will disturb the growth rhythm of the roots and affect the healthy development of the roots, thereby affecting the growth and flowering of the entire plant.
In addition to not changing the potting soil frequently, it should also be noted that the damage from transplantation should be reduced. Because frequent moving can easily damage the roots due to vibration or cause problems such as poor nutrient absorption. If these situations occur, they will indirectly lead to slow plant growth, flower bud drop, etc., affecting the overall ornamental effect. Therefore, it is recommended that in addition to not changing the potting soil in the first three months, it is also necessary to avoid frequent transplantation operations on phalaenopsis as much as possible.
In conclusion, for the newly bought phalaenopsis, don't pay too much attention to its appearance. Even if it is in an unattractive black plastic pot in the flower market, you have to endure for at least three months. Because only by doing so can it ensure full adaptation to the new environment and ensure the healthy growth cycle of the roots. Finally, it is necessary to reduce moving and transplantation, and follow the principle of "less movement is better" to create better growth conditions for it.
