Chrysanthemum repotting time and method

Chrysanthemum repotting time

It is recommended to repot chrysanthemums in spring and autumn. Spring repotting should be done in mid-April, and autumn repotting should be done before the flowering period. The climate is relatively mild and suitable at this time, so repotting will have less impact on the plants and will be beneficial to their growth.

Chrysanthemum 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 to expose most of the plant's roots. Then cut off rotten roots, old roots and excess fibrous roots. 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 sandy soil and old soil, 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.

Chrysanthemum care after repotting

After repotting the chrysanthemum, place it in a place with sufficient diffuse light and ventilation, spray water appropriately, and maintain a good environmental humidity. After repotting, it will adapt to the pot in about 7-10 days, and then you can maintain it normally.
