How to divide the pot for purple moon to survive easily

When is the best time to divide the purple moon

It is best to repot the Purple Moon Plant in spring and autumn when the growth is more vigorous. It is generally better to use a mixture of peat, vermiculite and perlite to divide the Purple Moon Plant into pots.

The correct way to divide the pot of purple moon

Preparation: Prepare the replacement soil and flowerpot. The soil composition ratio should be the same as when the plant was first planted. Mix in some coarse-grained stones to enhance permeability and some nutrient-rich base fertilizer. Place them evenly in the new pot.

Transplanting: Carefully take out the Purple Moon Plant from the original flowerpot and gently shake off some of the soil on the roots. You can keep a part of it, but it is best to expose most of the roots.

Planting: Be as gentle as possible during the process, otherwise a large number of leaves will fall off. After planting, you can water it a little to moisten the soil so that it will grow better.

Things to note when transplanting Purple Moonflower

1. When repotting, keep as much soil as possible on the roots of the plant and try to avoid bare roots. This is because transplanting with soil is easier to survive than transplanting with bare roots.

2. When repotting, if the original flower pot is a soft plastic pot or paper cup, it is recommended to cut it open so as not to damage the plant roots.

3. Do not repot continuously in a short period of time. Generally, there should be at least half a year or even longer interval between two repotting of plants. However, for plants in the seedling stage, it depends on the growth of the seedlings. You can repot them when the seedlings grow a circle larger.
