Every potted plant needs to be repotted from time to time. The treatment is necessary if we observe that:
- leaves get smaller, turn yellow and shoots stop growing,
- roots come out of the pot,
- s alt blooms appear on the surface of the substrate.
Deadline for transplanting
Plants are best transplanted in early spring (February-March), when the dormant period is over.
Transplant step by step
- We start with irrigating the substrate, i.e. immersing the plant in a bucket.
- Take the flower out of the pot after taking it out of the water. We loosen the tangled roots a bit. We remove the dry and damaged ones.
- Pour a centimeter layer of drainage and a bit of fresh substrate on the bottom of the new container.
- Place the root ball centrally and sprinkle it around, slightly compressing.
- The top edge of the soil should be approx. 1.5 cm lower than the edge of the pot. After watering, place the plant in a place not very sunny for two weeks.
For transplanting, choose pots slightly larger than the previous ones - by about 2-3 cm.
