Complete Guide to Using Specific Soils
Repotting Preparation
Before using the specific soil, prepare clean pots with drainage holes. Sterilize tools to prevent fungal or bacterial contamination.
Removal of Old Substrate
Gently remove the plant from its previous pot. Remove the old soil from the roots, checking the condition of the root system.
Application of New Soil
Place a layer of specific substrate at the bottom of the pot. Insert the plant and gradually fill, gently compacting.
Post-Repotting Irrigation
After repotting with organic soil, water moderately to help the substrate settle and roots establish.
Optimal Repotting Calendar
🌸 Spring (March-May)
Ideal period for most repottings. Plants are in a vegetative awakening phase and adapt better to the new substrate.
☀️ Summer (June-August)
Discouraged period for repotting, except for emergencies. High temperatures stress plants during adaptation to new soil.
🍂 Autumn (September-November)
Second optimal period for repotting, especially for succulents and orchids. Mild temperatures favor establishment.
❄️ Winter (December-February)
Resting period for vegetation. Avoid repotting except for recovering distressed plants with specific soils.
