When is the right time to repot a rubber tree?

Rubber tree repotting time

Generally, a newly purchased rubber tree needs to be repotted in time, because the rubber tree grows very fast and its pot is just right when it is purchased. If the pot is not changed in time, the root growth will be restricted.

It is more suitable to repot the rubber tree in spring every year, which is approximately from March to May. Generally, you need to choose suitable weather when repotting. It is best to repot on a sunny day, which can promote its rapid growth after planting.

Rubber tree repotting method and steps

1. Treatment before repotting

When repotting a rubber tree, you need to trim the roots of the rubber tree, but be careful not to shake off the soil at the roots, otherwise it will not be able to resume growth after repotting.

2. Prepare the flower pot

Generally, rubber trees are more suitable for growing in pots with good drainage, so when planting them, be sure to choose pots with air holes at the bottom.

3. Choose soil matrix

Generally, rubber trees do not have very strict requirements on soil. They only need some loose and fertile soil. It is best to have soil with good drainage so that there will be no water accumulation.

4. Basin operation

It is relatively difficult to pot the rubber tree, so be careful not to touch the roots, otherwise it will affect its recovery and growth. Generally, you should water it appropriately after planting.
