If the soil of the pepperwood is soft enough when you first buy it, you don’t need to replace the soil, but if it has become clumped, you need to replace the soil. If you want to replace the soil, it is best to use soil with good drainage and strong air permeability as the new soil. When repotting, be careful not to damage the roots and retain a small portion of the original soil. After buying it, keep it in a place with soft sunlight between 20-30℃. During this period, water and fertilizer should be controlled so that it can adapt to the new environment faster.
