Which pot to pick up? First of all, it is important to consider the size of the previous pot. It is necessary that the new container was at least a few centimeters larger in diameter and height. In addition, the larger the plant, the more stock you can take a new pot.

In addition, the material of the product is important. Terracotta, ceramics or plastic are often used. Keep in mind that the soil in the pot of porous terracotta dries quite quickly. Therefore, it is better to plant a plant that does not need abundant watering. But ceramic and plastic pots are perfect for green lovers of moisture. If you choose a pot without holes, be sure to put a good layer of drainage on the bottom and water the plant a little less often than usual.



What is the difference between transfer and transshipment? How to “resettle” the plant? When we remove a plant from a pot and clean its roots from the soil, this is called a transplant. In most cases, it is not necessary to do this. Shaking off the old ground, you risk damaging the roots of the plant, which can lead to its death. But transshipment is recommended almost all healthy plants. In this case, you only need to take the plant out of the container and place it in a new one, adding the missing amount of soil.



What is important to remember when moving a plant to a new pot

1. To make the plant easier to get, do not water it before transshipment.
2. Always make a drainage layer and keep in mind that after the first watering, the soil in the pot will subside.
3. If the roots of the plant were injured in the process, do not rush to water it. This way, you can reduce the likelihood of them rotting.
