REPOTTING - When you buy a small plant at the florist, shop often it will come in a small pot, and will have to be transplanted into a larger pot so that it will keep on growing. A lot of small plants are grown in the 3 or 4 inch pots and will grow rapidly, so the need for transplanting will depend on the variety and its particular growth habit. However even larger plants will eventually have to be transplanted. Signs to look for that indicate that a plant needs replanting are, when the roots are starting to come out of the pot, a large root formation at the soil level will indicate the need for transplanting, rapid drying out, stunted growth, ■ wilting or no growth at all will show you to transplant them. My experience has been that when a plant is doing well, leave it alone and don't try to make it grow better or faster by transplanting. This is especially true of the tropical plants which can grow in very little soil when watered and fertilized properly. Another way to check the plant is to remove it from the pot and if there appears to be a tight rope formation all around the root ball, and the soil is hardly visible through the covering of roots, transplanting transplanting should be done. Transplanting or shifting, as we call it in the trade, to a larger pot can be done anytime of the year. Never transplant the plant into too large a pot, thinking that this will save you a lot of time, or that you won't have to transplant again to quickly. But this is the wrong way to do it, since then you are asking for trouble. Plants that are in too large a pot will develop slowly, since all the action will be in the roots and very little on the top growth. Also' the soil will pack too tightly, smothering the roots and choking them off. The soil will also retain too much moisture encouraging root rot, Repot into a size that is 2 Auction Service Farm & Estate Sales Furniture Modern and Antique NORM FAULKNER Stouffville 640-5691 EARL GAUSLIN Stouffville 640 3079 inches longer than the original original pot, so a 6 inch plant should be shifted into a 8 inch pot, etc. Water your plant a short time before repotting, then the soil won't crumble and fall away when you remove it from the pot. Take the plant with its stem between your fingers and give the pot a sharp tap, or in the case of larger plants, lay them on the side and tap the container and the root ball will come out easily. The new pot should be ready with stones on the bottom covered with a layer of potting soil; then the plant, can be placed directly into the new pot, leaving about x k to 1 inch clearance at the top of the pot then fill in around the sides. Sometimes it is a good idea to loosen the roots around the outside of the root ball so that new roots can start right into the new soil, and fill in completely to the top of the root ball. Press in the soil so that the plant is firmly set in the new soil and water the plant thoroughly until the water comes out ' from the bottom of the pet. Most plants come in plastic pots these days, and will do quite well, but keep in mind that plastic will not breathe, so they will require less water and when you are shifting into a larger pot, I would recommend a clay pot, since the side of the clay pots are porous and will breathe, thus the soil has less chance to pack and become too wet. ' Clay pots that are neyv must be soaked in water for at least W hour, so that the clay is filled with moisture, otherwise otherwise the clay will absorb the moisture from the soil after transplanting. Until next week, happy indoor gardening. gardening.
