Lavender should be repotted in spring and once a year. Stop watering before repotting, wait until the soil dries, and then remove it from the pot. Prepare new soil with garden soil, peat soil and river sand in a ratio of 5:3:2, and add appropriate base fertilizer. Put the plant upright into the new pot and fill it with prepared soil. When filling, lift it up appropriately so that the roots and soil fit closely to accelerate the plant's adaptation to the new soil.

1. Repot time

The time to repot lavender is mostly in spring. Due to long-term watering and fertilization, the soil is easy to harden and harden, so it needs to be repotted once a year. If the pot is not changed in time, the growth of the roots will be restricted and breathing will also be affected. At the same time, when watering, water cannot penetrate well, all of which is not conducive to the development of the plant.

2. Stop water and remove the basin

Before preparing to repot the lavender, stop watering for a period of time to allow the potting soil to gradually dry out. When the potting soil dries, it will split from the pot wall, making it easier to remove the pot. Before removing the pot, you can loosen the soil around the inner wall of the flower pot, hold the soil ball and slowly take it out. Do not damage the leaves and roots, otherwise it will affect the subsequent recovery.

3. Preparation of new soil

The new soil for lavender must be loose and fertile, so as to facilitate the breathing of the roots and provide nutrients for its growth. Generally, garden soil, peat soil and river sand are used for preparation. The ratio of the three is 5:3:2, and a little organic fertilizer is also added as a base fertilizer. To ensure health, the soil needs to be exposed to the sun first to eliminate germs and insect eggs.

4. Pot maintenance

After preparing the new pot and new soil, you can pot it. Put the plant upright into the pot and fill it with prepared filling soil. During the filling process, you can lift it up from time to time to keep the roots and soil in contact. After potting, you can water it once and put it in a semi-shady place with good ventilation. Wait until the branches and leaves start to grow again, and then perform normal maintenance.
