Repotting of tiger thorn plum is usually carried out in spring every year, but it is also possible in autumn. Control the water content a few days before removing the pot, which will facilitate operation. When removing the pot, hold the flower pot with one hand and slowly take it out with the other hand. The choice of flower pots is mainly to ensure ventilation. The filling soil can be mixed with leaf mold soil, garden soil, and sand. Shake off the old soil attached to the tiger thorn plum, fill the flower pot with soil, and plant it slowly.

1. Time selection

Repotting of tiger thorn plum is usually done in spring every year, and other seasons are not as suitable as spring. The climate in spring is moderate and the germination ability is strong, which is very suitable for resumption of growth in the later period. Autumn is also possible, but summer and winter are not suitable.

2. Start removing the pot

It is necessary to control the water application in the first few days before depotting, so that it can be kept in a dry state during depotting, which is more convenient for the depotting operation. Hold the flower pot with one hand, and slowly take out the tiger thorn plum with the other hand. During this process, be careful to protect the roots and avoid damage. Because there are sharp thorns on the plant, be careful to avoid being injured by the sharp thorns. For safety reasons, you can wear gloves when operating.

3. Prepare pot soil

The choice of flower pots is mainly to ensure ventilation. The material should be earthenware pots or pottery pots. These two materials have high air permeability. The soil filled inside should be loose and breathable, with better drainage. It can be mixed with leaf mold soil, garden soil, and sandy soil, and base fertilizer needs to be added to ensure nutrition.

4. Plant in pots

Slowly shake off the old soil attached to the tiger thorn plum, and remove the aging root system on the roots. Be gentle. Fill the flower pot with soil, plant the tiger thorn plum in it, fill the soil along the perimeter of the flower pot, and shake it gently while filling it in to promote the full integration of the tiger thorn plum and the soil.
