A series of tips for living, topics about plants that don't acclimate well after repotting, next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.
This is the 924th day of the original article every day
After buying the seedlings, the first thing to do when you get home should be to repot them. Repotting is easy, but acclimating the seedlings is not. If the seedlings acclimate well, they can recover and grow quickly. If not, it will not only affect the growth of the seedlings but may even lead to their death.
This is a consultation I received from a flower enthusiast yesterday:
The enthusiast had purchased a rose seedling online, and it was already dehydrated upon arrival.
The leaves were dehydrated, and the flower buds were drooping. This is actually a common issue when buying seedlings in summer. In such cases, we should first give the seedlings a simple rehydration and pruning treatment before repotting.
The enthusiast did a good job, she pruned and soaked the rose, which basically restored its vitality, and then repotted it.
However, during the acclimation process, improper acclimation caused the rose seedling's leaves to fall off in large numbers, and the branches also became withered.

The picture shows that there are few leaves left on this rose now. Today, Green Enthusiast Network will not discuss other issues with this rose but only analyze it from the perspective of acclimation.
First of all, for such nutrient cup seedlings, the root system is certainly relatively poor, and it was already severely dehydrated upon receipt. Therefore, repotting and acclimating should avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
What Green Enthusiast Network means is to avoid direct sunlight, but it can still be exposed to the sun.
You may find it magical that acclimating doesn't require a shaded and well-ventilated place, how can it still be exposed to the sun?
Acclimating in a shaded and well-ventilated place is not suitable for all flowers. For herbaceous flowers with a high transpiration rate and shade-loving flowers, acclimating can be done in a shaded and well-ventilated area. But for sun-loving flowers like roses, they need to be exposed to the sun.
Our enthusiast made a mistake by letting the sun shine directly on the seedlings during acclimation!
If the rose seedlings had a good root system, direct sunlight would not be a problem, but these are nutrient cup seedlings with weak roots, so the situation is different.
