Ginkgo repots are usually repotted in spring or autumn, when the climate is warmer and more conducive to the plant's recovery. Stop watering and allow the soil to dry before repotting. Also trim leaves to reduce water evaporation. Prepare new pots and new soil. The soil should be loose and fertile. After that, the plant can be taken out of the pot. If the roots are too long, the roots can be trimmed appropriately. After the wound dries, it can be planted in a new pot.

1. Repotting time

Ginkgo biloba is usually repotted in spring and autumn. Compared with other seasons, the climate at this time is warmer, which is very helpful for the recovery of the plant after repotting. If you choose it in the summer, high temperatures will often inhibit the growth of the plant, and the humid climate can easily breed bacteria and cause it to become diseased.

2. Preparation

Preparation Before repotting the ginkgo, you should first stop watering and let the soil become drier. This will make it easier to remove the ginkgo and less likely to damage the roots. At the same time, the leaves should be properly pruned to reduce water evaporation and ensure that it can resume growth faster after being potted. In addition, new soil must be prepared, usually loose and fertile sandy loam.

3. Root repair and potting

Take the ginkgo out of the original pot, remove some of the old soil from the roots, check its roots, cut off all old and bad roots, and spray carbendazim on it to prevent wound infection. Put it in a cool place to dry, and when it gradually dries, you can pot it. Apply appropriate base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot, then place the plant in and fill it with prepared new soil.

4. Daily maintenance

After potting the ginkgo, place it in a semi-shady place and wait for it to accept the pot. After it resumes growth, let it see the light appropriately. Pay attention to watering at ordinary times to keep the pot soil moist, but not too damp. In summer, the temperature is higher and the water evaporates quickly, so watering is required in the morning and evening. During its vigorous growth period, you need to apply a little cake fertilizer and water to help the branches and leaves grow, and add base fertilizer before winter.
