Time and method for repotting Jianlan

Time to repot Jianlan

It is recommended to repot Jianlan in spring and autumn, because the temperature and climate at this time are suitable, which has less impact on the plant, and repotting is conducive to growth. It can adapt to the new environment quickly after repotting. Do not repot in summer and winter.

Jianlan repotting method and steps

1. Depotting : It is recommended to cut off water three days before depotting. When depotting, first use a small shovel to draw a circle along the inner wall of the pot, or tap the outer wall of the pot to make the potting soil easier to separate. Then turn the pot upside down, hold the rhizome, and take it out carefully.

2. Prune the roots : After digging out the plant, shake off the soil around the roots, clean the roots, then cut off the rotten roots, old roots and excess fibrous roots, then use carbendazim solution to disinfect and sterilize, and finally dry the roots.

3. Prepare potting soil : Prepare a larger flowerpot with good air permeability. The soil should be loose, fertile and well-drained. You can mix humus, coarse sand and sawdust in a ratio of 1:1:2, and then disinfect the potting soil.

4. Plant in the pot : Spread a layer of small gravel at the bottom of the pot to increase permeability, then place the plant in the middle of the prepared soil, fill the soil after the roots are stretched out, compact the soil lightly, spray water appropriately, and finally place it in a cool place.
