Podocarpus repotting time1. Whether it is a Podocarpus potted plant or a bonsai, it is usually necessary to repot it in time after 2-3 years of growth. This is mainly because with the continuous growth of the Podocarpus plant, especially the spread of the root system, the space and nutrients in the original pot are insufficient. If the pot is not changed in time, it may affect the normal growth of the plant. 2. Under normal circumstances, it is suitable to repot Podocarpus in early spring or late autumn, because Podocarpus is mostly planted in southern my country. Due to the relatively low temperature in the northern region and the poor cold resistance of Podocarpus, it is not very suitable for planting in the northern region. The temperature in the southern region warms up quickly and the temperature gradually drops in late autumn, so it can be repotted in spring and autumn. How to repot Podocarpus1. Prepare the soil Podocarpus likes to grow in loose and breathable soil. If the pot is not changed for a long time, the soil will become compacted and it will be unfavorable for growth. Before changing the pot, you must first prepare suitable soil. You can use leaf mold, vermiculite, river sand, etc. This kind of soil can meet the needs of later growth. 2. Remove the plant After preparing the soil for cultivation, you can take the Podocarpus out of the pot. Do not remove all the soil on the roots. Keep some old soil next to the roots to make it more suitable for potting. Also, trim the roots properly to remove rotten roots and excessively long roots. In addition to pruning the roots, you also need to trim the branches so that they do not grow too densely. 3. Tamp the pot Fill the prepared soil into the flowerpot, then plant the Podocarpus in the flowerpot, fill in the remaining soil, and gently press the soil with your hands. After planting, be sure to tamp the potting soil to ensure that there is no gap between the roots and the soil. 4. Post-maintenance After planting, dilute the rooting powder and then water the Podocarpus thoroughly. Then move it to a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth. You can spray water on the plant to keep it moist. Avoid exposing it to strong light for the time being, which can promote the recovery of the plant. Things to note when repotting PodocarpusPodocarpus should not be exposed to the sun immediately after being repotted, otherwise it will be difficult to take root. It is best to place it in a well-ventilated semi-shaded place. When the soil is dry, water it moderately, and do not allow water to accumulate. Wait for it to adapt to the new environment and start to take root before normal maintenance. |
