add no fertilizers to ensure good ventilation for the root to adapt to the new environment
put it in shady place to ensure weaker transpiration pull for water (until the root can absorb enough water properly in the new pot)

細盆換大盆之後唔可以加肥同移去陰處係因為根部問題
因為換盆過程中有可能傷及根部,所以移到陰處,
避免根部因供水不足在猛烈陽光下令植株脫水,
同一道理,當根部受損後並不能有效地吸收養份
所以並不能加肥,避免受到肥害
