Flowers at home: We transplant orchids
Orchids are transplanted in the first weeks after flowering. Specimens with several leaf tufts can besplitandblown outfor this purposelump rootcarefully remove from the pot. Ifthe rootsfit tightly to the sides, cut them with a knife. Gently tear the exposed shoots, then plant them in new containers filled withspecial substratefororchids
Pots should be slightly larger than those in which the mother plant was grown. Standard flower soil is not suitable for orchids due to its high contentpeatWwinter careplantsthe most important thing is watering and tying the shoots. We irrigate regularly, but only when the substrate is dry. Orchids aretropical epiphytesthat like warmth and feel best at temperatures above 20 ° C. In winter, we power themmoderately
Trees and shrubs: Secure plants with tied flower buds

Especiallyyoung plants , with a poorly developed root system, are very sensitive to water shortages, especially in thelong-term period drought We water not too often, but abundantly, about 8-10 l of water per plant, so that the water reaches thesystem rootIt is important to water the plants growing in containers placed onterracesandbalconies,where no rainwater comes in.
