How to Repot a Hawaiian Coconut Tree

1. Frequency

There is no definite standard about this. We can adjust the frequency according to the specific growth of the plants. Generally speaking, once every two to three years is sufficient.

2. Specific steps

(1) Water control: This is a necessary step before repotting. You must control the water before repotting. Don't water in the short term. Wait until the soil in the pot is relatively dry (usually semi-dry) before you can start watering.

(2) Changing the soil: This means replacing the old soil in the pot with new soil. However, one thing that needs to be noted is that you cannot replace all the soil, you only need to replace part of it. Generally speaking, in order to ensure the normal growth of the plant, we only need to replace about half of it.

(3) Treatment of the plants: Repotting does not just involve the soil, the plants themselves also need to be treated, mainly by pruning. For those old roots and those that have become sick and necrotic, we need to cut them off and mainly leave the new roots.

(4) Some fertilizer can be used in the newly placed soil to help the plants adapt to the new environment faster. However, do not add too much fertilizer, otherwise the roots of the plant will be damaged.

(5) After replacement, compact the soil. Then, water it thoroughly, make sure to water it thoroughly. In addition, it is also important to avoid exposing the plants to too strong light and to take appropriate shading measures.
