2. Pot changing time

There are three aspects to pay attention to when repotting roses. First, avoid damaging the roots and control water in advance to facilitate removal from the pot. For plastic pots, it is recommended to cut them directly. If the new root system is damaged, it will be difficult to recover. The second is to prune the root system. Cut off some old roots, dead roots, rotten roots, and diseased and weak roots, so that they can better absorb water and nutrients later. Third, it must be disinfected. If it is not disinfected, the wound will become infected and hinder later growth.

1. Precautions

1. Avoid damaging the roots: If the plants are to be repotted, the water should be controlled in advance. This will make it easier to remove the pot and less likely to damage the root system. If it is a plastic pot when taking it out of the pot, it is recommended to cut the pot directly to reduce damage to the root system.

It is recommended to repot it in early spring or autumn. The climate in these two seasons is relatively more suitable and can reduce damage to it. Try to avoid summer and winter. When the temperature is too high in summer, a large amount of water will be lost, and the wound will be easily infected with bacteria and germs. The low temperature in winter can easily cause frostbite to plants, and it is difficult to adapt to them in the later period, which is detrimental to recovery.
