1. Things to note

2. Later maintenance

There are three main aspects to pay attention to when repotting it. One is time. Choose to do it in spring, when the temperature can be maintained above 15 degrees, so you can recover faster. It cannot be performed in summer or winter, as it is easy to be infected with bacteria or frostbite. The second is to prune the roots. Every time you repot it, you must cut off the old roots, thin roots, and entangled roots to facilitate later growth. The third is the configuration of the soil, which requires the preparation of appropriate nutrient soil. In addition, after changing the basin, water it thoroughly as soon as possible to keep it moisturized and warm.

1. Precautions

1. Time: The choice of time to repot it is very important. It is recommended to do it in spring, specifically between March and April. The temperature at this time can be maintained above 15 degrees, neither high nor low, which is more conducive to potting and growth in the later period. Be careful not to choose it in summer or winter. Summer is prone to bacterial infection and winter is prone to frostbite.

2. Prune the roots: Prune when changing pots For treatment, you can cut off old roots, entangled roots, fine roots, and fibrous roots, leaving only one-third of the root system. This will allow you to adapt to the new environment more quickly and grow better.

3. Soil preparation: When changing pots, you need to replace the soil with new soil. You can prepare nutrient soil by yourself, mix it with leaf mold soil, river sand and garden soil, and add an appropriate amount of rotten bark. It can increase drainage and air permeability, which is more conducive to growth.

2. Later maintenance

After changing the pot and soil, water it thoroughly as soon as possible, and then place it in a cool, ventilated place to let it adapt slowly. In addition, you must also pay attention to the temperature. To keep it warm, it is best to control the temperature between 15-25 degrees, so that you can adapt to the environment faster. If the temperature is too high or too low, repotting may fail and the plant may die.
