What is a plant transplant for? Indeed, in nature no one transplantes them, they are constantly in the same place. But indoor plants without a transplant may feel oppressed or even die. For example, due to the small capacity that interferes with the development of the root system. Or because of the depletion of the soil, the accumulation of excess salts in it, the violation of the soil structure, which makes it difficult to exchange air.
Garden plants, like indoor flowers, sometimes need to be replanted. Here, for example, a novice gardener out of inexperience planted a tree in an inappropriate place - too close to another tree or to a neighboring fence. Or, let's say, I decided to build some kind of building on the place where the tree grows. It’s just a pity to uproot it, it’s better to transplant it.
In most cases, they should be transplanted in the spring, since for any plant, especially the whimsical, moody, transplanting is a lot of stress. In order for it to cope safely with it, it has taken root well in a new place, a long period of comfortable conditions is necessary. This is precisely what spring transplantation answers to: at least part of spring, all summer and early autumn, the plant will receive enough light and heat. That is, he has at least five to six months to get comfortable in a new place. As a rule, this is more than enough.
If the plant is transplanted in the summer, then, firstly, the duration of the comfort period will be much shorter, and secondly, the risk of drying its roots, especially the capillary system, is very fragile and vulnerable. This risk is especially great in hot and dry weather, even if you spend a minimum time on transplanting and immediately water it abundantly. It is because of this that plants transplanted in the summer often dry out or develop worse. Therefore, it is better not to take risks and do this work in the spring.
Is it possible to transplant in the fall? In the garden, this is permissible only for the most winter-hardy, unpretentious plants, undemanding to the conditions of detention. If we are talking about indoor plants, then replant in the fall should be those in which the period of active growth just falls on the period of "fall-winter", and the strongest flowering - in the spring.
