When is the best time to repot hibiscus?

Hibiscus flower repotting time

Hibiscus has a high demand for soil nutrients. After a period of growth, if the plant is not repotted, it is easy for the plant to become malnourished. Repotting can make the plant grow vigorously. Newly purchased hibiscus does not need to be repotted.

Hibiscus can be repotted all year round, but spring is the most suitable time. The temperature in this season is moderate and the climate is mild. After the plant is transplanted, the root damage can be repaired quickly, reducing the harmful effects of repotting and transplanting on the hibiscus.

Methods and steps for repotting hibiscus

1. Treatment before repotting

Before repotting hibiscus, you should first knock the walls of the pot to separate the roots from the soil, then pour in more water to lubricate the roots of the plant to avoid breakage.

2. Prepare the flower pot

When choosing a hibiscus pot, you must base it on the size of the plant. If the plant is the same size as the original pot, then buying a slightly larger clay pot is the best choice.

3. Choose soil matrix

Hibiscus is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil. It is best to use a mixture of peat soil and garden soil, and then add humus solution and organic fertilizer to increase soil fertility.

4. Basin operation

Finally, dig a space in the new flowerpot that is slightly larger than the plant's roots, plant the plant in it, cover it with loose soil, and water it with an appropriate amount of water to help the plant's roots adapt to the new environment faster.
