Precautions for repotting Daphne koreana

Daphne koreana has a strong germination ability and is resistant to pruning, but it is a little more difficult to transplant. It is generally done in spring and autumn, with the best time being the early spring germination period. If it must be transplanted in summer, try to choose the morning and evening or in cool weather to increase its survival rate.

1. Daphne odora has fleshy roots, so you should choose a suitable flower pot in advance before repotting. You can use a deeper ceramic pot or purple clay pot, or a plastic pot with many drainage holes. Flower pots made of this material have good water permeability and meet the growth needs of Daphne odora.

2. Place a layer of large-grained clay fragments on the bottom of the new flower pot, which can serve as a simple waterproof layer. Then mix a small amount of bone meal into the soil as base fertilizer.
