2. Tips for repotting calla lilies

Calla lilies can be repotted in summer. Because summer is the calla lily's dormant period, repotting during the dormant period will cause less damage to the plant, and the subsequent recovery will be faster. Calla lily repotting techniques include four aspects. First, you need to prepare suitable potting soil, and secondly, remove the pot, remove the soil to expose the roots, and prune old and damaged root systems. Then plant in pots and gradually fill in the soil. After changing the pot, you should also pay attention to subsequent maintenance, such as watering it thoroughly and not allowing it to be exposed to direct sunlight immediately.

1. Calla lilies can be repotted in summer

Summer is the dormant period of calla lilies, so you can repot them.

Because the plant is repotted during the dormant period, the sensitivity of the plant to the external environment will be relatively reduced. Repotting at this time will cause minimal damage to the plant, and it will recover faster after repotting.

Therefore, we should pay attention to the growth period and slow seedling stage of the plant and try not to repot it, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of the plant and even lead to death.

Prepare pot soil: Before repotting calla lilies, prepare a larger pot and soil with strong air permeability, high nutrient content, and rich humus.

Remove the pot and trim the roots: After preparing the new pot soil, you can take the plant out of the old pot. But be careful not to water a few days before you plan to remove the pot. Because the soil is half dry and half wet, it is easy for the soil and the flower pot to separate. After the plant is removed from its pot, you need to gently peel off the old soil from the plant's root system, but do not peel it all off, just leave the roots exposed. After the roots are exposed, observe the roots. If there are rotten roots, they need to be cut off. Old roots can also be cut off, leaving only healthy and vigorous roots.

Plant in pots: first plant in the pot Half of the soil must be soil with relatively strong drainage and air permeability, and another layer of nutrient soil can be spread. Then plant the calla lily, bury the roots little by little with culture soil, and compact the pot soil.

Follow-up maintenance: Pay attention to watering thoroughly during the first watering after changing the basin, and then water again after the soil in the basin is completely dry. In addition, you can place it in a ventilated and shaded place, and slowly see the light after two weeks. After changing the pot, fertilize it again in two or three months, and it must be thin fertilizer, because the root system is relatively fragile at this time.
