When to transplant indoor violets, how to determine the need for a procedure

Tell me when to transplant indoor violets? Recently, I began to notice that my flowers have stopped growing. Violets look healthy, leaves are clean, without spots. They just don't grow and bloom. I think the reason is in the soil - I haven't changed it for a long time, and the bushes are already bigger than their pots.

All growers know that violets need to be planted in small pots. However, this does not mean at all that plants should be in the same flowerpot all their lives. Time goes by, the bushes grow, become more magnificent. The previous capacity is already too small for them. In addition, the violet gradually completely selects nutrients from the substrate and begins to starve. The soil itself also loses its loose structure and cakes. It is quite logical that the question arises: when to transplant indoor violets? How to determine that it is time to change the soil and pot for the plants? We propose to discuss these issues in more detail.

What are the signs to determine the need for transplanting violets?

The general transplant rule for all indoor plants is: young flowers should be transplanted annually. For large adult bushes, the procedure is sufficient to carry out every 3 years. This also applies to violets. In addition, furry babies will often tell you what to do.
So, it's time to buy new pots and fresh soil in such cases:

• violet root system tightly filled the container;
• a white coating appeared on the surface of the earth;
• the violet stopped growing and blooming;
• the bush has a bare stem, and the rosette rises above the ground.

In addition, diseased violets need an urgent transplant, especially if there are problems with root decay.

When to transplant indoor violets?

Best time to transplant violets - spring, when growth processes are activated in all plants. During this period, the flowers tolerate interference with their development easier. In addition, they take root faster and better. But if for some reason the moment was missed, you can transplant the violet in summer or autumn. But in the winter it is extremely undesirable to do this. The exception is when the flower is sick.

When replanting in autumn and winter, you should pay attention to lighting the plants at first. It is better to install special lamps.

And the last nuance concerns the transplant of violets, which are at the flowering stage. If the bush is healthy, it is better to postpone the procedure until the last buds have faded. If the question is acute, the transplant should be carried out by transshipment, while removing all flowers from the bush.
