Should I use a large or small pot for arrowroot?

The size of the arrowroot flowerpot should be determined according to the size of the plant. Generally, the diameter of the flowerpot should be about half the crown of the plant. If the flowerpot is too small, the plant shape will not match the flowerpot, reducing the ornamental value of the plant.

Growth environment: The most suitable growth temperature for arrowroot is 18-30℃. It prefers a warm, humid, semi-shaded growing environment with air humidity above 70%.

Repotting time: Arrowroot needs to be repotted every 1-2 years. The best time is April to May in spring, because the plant likes warmth and repotting at this time will cause the least damage to it.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for arrowroot?

The arrowroot plant itself is relatively large and grows vigorously, so it is more suitable to be maintained in a deep pot. If the pot is too shallow, the roots of the arrowroot may be exposed, which is not conducive to its growth.

The roots of arrowroot are afraid of waterlogging, so it is best to use flower pots with good drainage, such as clay pots, purple clay pots, and clay pots. These materials are suitable for the growth of arrowroot.

How to repot arrowroot

Before repotting the arrowroot, place it in a warm room. After removing the plant from the pot, replace more than half of the old soil, retaining the soil around the roots, and then plant it in soft, breathable new flower soil. Then place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and it will resume growth in a few days.
