Have you ever bought a plant back from nursery but later found out you have no idea how to transfer it into a bigger pot?
Today I'm going to share with you how I did repotting.
I got a pot of anthurium from my mother in law two weeks ago. She brought it back from Cameron Highlands. According to the plant nursery owner, this anthurium is an unique species given its twisted flower petal. Common anthurium flower petal is flat as shown in the picture below.
I let the flower get used to my garden surrounding for about a week before deciding to split the plants into 2 pots. It is not until I make sure the plants have adapt to my garden weather, sunlight and humidity (the easiest way to know this is when you see there is new leafs or baby plants coming out).
Depending on the type of plants, some plants are more sensitive to changes such as weather, soil and sunlight. To me, anthurium is not too much difficult to take care but she is also not too easy to grow beautifully. I leave half of the soil (in this case it is cocoa pit) in each pot and filled the remaining space in the pot with new soil. I then put them back to their original spot where I concluded they live happily there.
The first week after the splitting and repotting is crucial. Water the plant at least twice a day, watch for any adverse reaction of the plant growing.
Lastly, don't forget, LOVE! Be connected to your plant and I believe, they can feel it. They will grow with radiant when they feel loved.
