Basic Repotting & Dividing (continued)

Labeling
Newly potted plants should have plant labels with the name of the plant and date that it was repotted.

Care After Repotting
To prevent bacterial and fungal disease, water once with Phyton 27. Phyton 27 is a systemic agent that will protect the plant for the next 90 days.

Place the newly potted plant in a shady location. It is usually best not to water the plant for the next 7 to 10 days. During the second week after repotting, resume a normal watering schedule. After about a month, new roots will appears on the plant. Return the plant to it normal location and begin to reapply nutrients as recommended.
