The process of repotting succulent plants

Such as Jatropha, Monopodia, Euphorbia of the Euphorbiaceae family, Agaveceae, Dracaenaceae and The growth period of species such as Bambooaceae is from spring to autumn. They are in a dormant state when the temperature is low in winter, and the lower pole can generally grow normally. They are called "summer species". These plants grow in spring 3 in March. Repotting is best.

The growing season is from autumn to the following spring, with obvious dormancy in summer. succulent plants, that is, "winter species", such as most species of the Aromaceae family, small-leaf species of the genus Huibian, Sedum family of the genus Deleucidum, Yinbojin, and Vasus genus regardless of species, etc. They should be repotted in autumn 9 months.

The growth period of other succulents is mainly in spring and autumn. When the temperature is high in summer, the growth stagnates slightly. It is also advisable to repot these succulents in spring.

Under normal circumstances, succulents need to be repotted after one year. At this time, the nutrients in the pot tend to be exhausted, the soil will become compacted, and the air and water permeability are poor. The roots of the succulent plants will fill the pot. There is an urgent need to improve the cultivation environment of the roots. Generally, succulent plants are best repotted every spring between April and May when the temperature reaches about 15℃. Some succulents of the Euphorbiaceae and Aspergillus families have very thick and few roots and can be repotted 1 times in 2-3 years or more. When repotting, there is no need to cut or dry the roots. Try to damage the roots as little as possible. After repotting, water appropriately and place in a semi-shady place for maintenance.

Succulent plants that have just been repotted are prone to soft stems Or the leaves keep falling off. This phenomenon is mostly caused by damage to the root system of the succulent plants during the repotting process, which prevents the roots from absorbing water normally. After entering the new pot, the succulents need to go through the process of 1-2 weeks of slow rooting before they can return to normal. During this process, do not water too much, just spray spray on weekdays to increase the surrounding air humidity.
