Repotting blood flower in spring
In order for the blood flower to develop well and get enough nutrients, you need to repot it occasionally. When is the best time for it and what do you have to consider when repotting blood flowers?
The best time to repot blood flowers
It will be time to repot when the onions of the flower have taken the whole pot or roots already grow out of the top of the vessel.
Repotting is done in early spring.
The right pot
The new pot should not be too big, because the blood flower puts all its power into the formation of new onions. Between onion and pot edge should be three to four inches of space.
If the size of the bulbs is still sufficient, you should remove the upper layer of the substrate and fill the container with fresh soil. As a result, the onions are spared and do not have to recover from repotting.
Which substrate is suitable for the blood flower?
As a substrate potting compost is suitable. The pH should be around 6.
Repot the blood flower properly
Plant the onions of the flower flowers so that the tip sticks out of the substrate at the top. Do not cover it completely with earth.
After repotting, you must not fertilize the blood flower for several weeks, as it is supplied by the fresh substrate optimally with nutrients.
Do not share onions too often
When repotting the flower, it is best to divide the onions to make offshoots. To do this, carefully separate the small broilers.
To split, choose only onions with the strongest possible shoots.
Too often you must not divide the blood flower. The shoots then remain weak and there are no flowers. Therefore, wait three to four years before re-dividing the flower.
Tips
The blood flower can not be multiplied only by the division of onions. Propagation is also possible by sowing. Germinating seeds you can harvest spring from existing blood flowers.
