Although it may seem simple, transplanting is always going to be a bit traumatic for the plant, so it is very important to document how and when to do it.
In
nature, a
seed will always be born, grow and develop in the same place, so transplanting will put the plant under a considerable amount of stress because it will have to develop resources to adapt to a new place. In addition, if it is done with little care, the roots can be damaged. In fact, if you've done a transplant, you'll have noticed that many times the plant gets a little sad or droopy in its new home. This process is not easy for them.

Adapts to any environment
To prevent stress from negatively affecting your plant, it is necessary to do the entire transplanting process at a time when its activity has decreased.
Think of your plant as a person who works in a company and is in charge of several tasks. If you put more than they can handle
, that person will collapse from the pressure,
Flowering and growth are activities that require dedicated resources from the plant, so if you add more work (adapting to a new environment) it is very likely that your plant will go into crisis; so it is best to look for those spaces of low activity to change it pot. This time can vary depending on the species of plant and it is advisable to respect these times.

The Perfect Time to Transplant
For many plants, the ideal repotting season is usually in late winter and early spring, as hibernation is coming to an end and they can recover in spring. However, there are others who consider fall to be perfect, because the weather is warm and the winter rains can keep watering going, while giving the plant time to adjust before it reaches spring.

What is generally agreed is that you should not have a transplant in the summer. Such warm temperatures dry out the substrate too much, which could affect the roots that are still inside the root ball and have not yet reached the new substrate. These cycles must be strictly respected when you are going to transplant outdoors; either from pot to soil or vice versa.
If you're moving a plant from a pot to the ground, try to do so on days that are somewhat cloudy and pay close attention to watering in the following weeks. If transplanting involves taking a plant out of the ground and putting it in a pot, you should do it in winter, when it's dormant. This will ensure the success of the operation.

If you want
to move potted houseplants to a larger one, you can do it whenever you want, even immediately after you buy it. As the conditions inside your home are more or less stable, the plant will not be subjected to too much stress. Of course, it is recommended never to expose the roots or extract them from the root ball as root abuse is usually what generates the most stress in this type of transplant.

Once you transplant, using the right pot and substrate according to the type of plant, you should place it in a place with semi-shade, even if it is in direct or bright light. This is because you need to give them time to adjust to their new home. Be much more careful with watering and avoid fertilizing it, it is better to wait a few months for it to resume its natural cycle.
Transplants are necessary to give your plant space to grow more and better. Don't be afraid to take the first step towards improving your plant's quality of life. Get the right pots, the perfect substrate and get to work. Your green companion will thank you.
