Can the cactus be repotted in summer?

The cactus cannot be repotted in the summer. The temperature is high in summer and it has entered a dormant state. If it is repotted at this time, it will not be able to adapt in a short period of time and cannot absorb nutrients and water from the soil. Moreover, after repotting, it is prone to poor growth or even death. Just pay attention to shade and water control in the summer.

How to repot a cactus

When repotting a cactus, you need to loosen the old soil first to avoid damaging the plant's roots when removing it from the pot. Check whether the plant has rotten roots or weak roots, and if so, cut them off in time. Then, plant it in the new soil, just making sure the cactus' roots are fixed in the soil.

Things to note when repotting cactus

1. When repotting the cactus, you need to prepare suitable potting soil. Succulents like to grow in a breathable environment, so it is best to choose a ceramic pot or clay pot with good air permeability. You can choose a mixture of peat soil, river sand and perlite. Such soil is loose, breathable and has good drainage.

2. After taking the cactus out of the old pot, trim the rotten roots and disinfect it after pruning. Pour carbendazim into a spray bottle and spray it on the roots. Wait until the roots are dry before putting it in the pot. Otherwise, the cut will easily become infected, which will affect the growth of the cactus.
