The best time to repot white jasmine is to wait until the Qingming Festival, move it outdoors, and choose the size of the pot according to the size of the plant at that time.

1. When repotting white jasmine, usually choose a clay pot, purple clay pot or a plastic pot with more drainage holes that has good air permeability. It is best to have a certain amount of brick and tile fragments in the pot as a waterproof layer to facilitate water seepage and air permeability.

2. If you want to change the pot, water the surrounding areas of the pot the day before. This can help the plant to be removed from the pot smoothly. You can also dig out a circle of soil at the edge of the pot and take out the original potting soil together with the white jasmine.

How to repot white orchid

1. Root pruning and drying

When repotting the white jasmine, you need to trim off some old or rotten roots, which can help it grow new branches and increase the number of flowers.

2. Watering

During the repotting period, the soil should be kept moist, but not too much water will cause root rot. The first time you water it after repotting, be sure to water it thoroughly, and wait until it is completely dry before watering it a second time. You can usually spray water on the leaves.

The soil should be loose and breathable enough. It is best to use sandy soil that is slightly acidic. You can also mix it with a little bone meal, garden soil, and leaf mold for planting.
