How to change the soil and pot of Tiger Pilan

Time to repot tiger lily

The best time to repot Sansevieria is in spring and autumn. The specific time is around March and October. The temperature in these two time periods is more suitable, and the plant can adapt to the new pot quickly after repotting.

The role of changing soil and potting for Tiger Pilan

The reason why the soil and pots are changed during the planting of Sansevieria is that as the flowers and trees grow, the original pots are no longer suitable for the growth and development of potted flowers, so the pots must be turned over and replaced.

When changing the soil and pot of Sansevieria, you need to ensure that the soil is changed in a cool, diffused light and humid environment. The temperature should not be too high or too low, otherwise it will inhibit the normal growth of Sansevieria.

How to change soil and pot for Tiger Pilan

1. Remove the pot

Before changing the soil and pot of Sansevieria, it is necessary to control the water properly. When removing the plant from the pot, hold the bulb with one hand, turn the pot upside down with the other hand, and tap it gently to easily remove the plant. After removing the plant from the pot, check whether the roots are rotten, and cut off the rotten and aging roots.

2. Prepare the soil

Tiger Piranha likes fertile, moist and slightly acidic soil, especially fertile soil rich in humus, so it is best to use mostly leaf mold or peat soil to plant it.

3. Planting

When planting Sansevieria, put some small pieces of charcoal at the bottom of the pot, put in 1/4 of the soil, and add some decomposed chicken manure. The fertilizer and the roots are separated by soil. Hold the roots of the plant with both hands and plant it in the pot. Continue to add soil. When the top layer of soil touches the bottom of the first layer of leaves of the Sansevieria, the potting is completed.

Maintenance of Tiger Pilan after soil change

1. Watering

After changing the soil of the Sansevieria, the soil in the pot just needs to be kept slightly moist. There must be no accumulation of water, and the soil must be well ventilated so that it will be easier for the plant to adapt to the pot.

2. Fertilization

Do not apply fertilizer immediately after changing the soil of the Tiger Piranha. Wait until the Tiger Piranha starts to grow new leaves, then you can apply fertilizer. You can use fully decomposed organic fertilizer, sheep manure fertilizer, or chicken manure fertilizer.

3. Pruning

After changing the soil of the snake plant, you need to trim the dead leaves. The yellow leaves and dead leaves should be broken off from the roots. Do not just trim the dry parts of the leaves. The withered leaves can be picked off after they are old.

4. Lighting

After changing the soil of the Sansevieria, place it in a bright and ventilated place for the first half month. Do not expose it to the sun immediately, otherwise the roots will not grow firmly and the leaves will easily wilt and wither due to the sun.
