How to change soil and pot of Australian fir

Time to repot Australian fir

The suitable time to repot Australian fir is spring and autumn, because spring and autumn are the seasons when the plant grows rapidly, the temperature and light are suitable, and it can quickly resume growth after repotting.

Effect of changing soil and potting for Australian fir

The soil needs to be changed during the planting of Australian fir because the nutrients in the soil in the pot are consumed at a high level and the soil needs to be changed. On the other hand, as the plant grows bigger, it needs to be replaced with a larger pot to facilitate the growth of the plant's roots.

When changing the soil and potting of Australian cedar, the best temperature is 25-28 degrees. Do not apply fertilizer after repotting, as it will damage the root system. Fertilizing can only be resumed after the plant has adapted to the potting soil.

How to change soil and pot of Australian fir

1. Remove the pot

Before changing the soil and pot of the Australian fir, you can water it one day in advance to loosen the soil in the pot. Then take the entire root system out of the pot and cut off some old and yellow leaves. This can reduce the consumption of nutrients and water and help the plant grow better.

2. Prepare the soil

It is best to use fertile nutrient soil or peat soil to plant Australian pine. You can also use your own soil, but you must ensure good water permeability.

3. Planting

When planting Australian fir, you need to remove some of the original soil on the roots, trim the roots, cut off some dead and diseased roots, and unhealthy roots, soak them in carbendazim, and then plant them directly in the prepared potting soil after drying, and compact the soil.

Maintenance of Australian fir after soil replacement

1. Watering

After changing the soil and repotting the Australian fir, you should water it sufficiently to keep the soil slightly moist, but be sure not to water it too frequently, otherwise the roots will easily rot. You can spray water on the leaves to create a growing environment with high air humidity.

2. Fertilization

Do not apply fertilizer immediately after changing the soil of the Australian fir. Wait until new leaves grow before applying fertilizer. If you apply fertilizer immediately, fertilizer damage will occur and affect the plant's acclimatization.

3. Pruning

After changing the soil of the Australian fir, some dead and diseased branches should be pruned off first. If the branches grow densely, they can be pruned sparsely. Pruning some longer branches can promote the growth of new branches.

4. Lighting

After changing the soil of the Australian fir, it needs to be shaded for 1-2 weeks to provide the plant with a suitable growth environment for seedlings. Generally, some scattered light can be gradually seen after two weeks.
