Step-by-step instructions for transplanting a houseplant
For transplanting, it is necessary to prepare a pot, soil mixture, drainage.
Vessel
A new pot should be chosen more than the one in which the rose is grown. Its overall dimensions should be 3-5 cm larger than the previous one in diameter of the bottom and 5-7 cm in height. It is better to choose a ceramic product with glazing. If there is no such dishes, then you can take a plastic container with thick walls and a large tray.
It is best to give preference to a classic pot or slightly rounded shape. These features are very important when transplanting. If you select a very large pot, the water will stagnate, which will lead to acidification of the soil. As a result, you can not see the bloom at all.
Priming
Land can be purchased at the flower shop. For roses, there is a special primer ideal for them. Together with the soil, drainage mixtures are also purchased. Soil can be prepared at home.
