When and how to change the soil of Bear's Paw

Bear Paw soil replacement time

You can choose to change the soil for Bear's Paw in early spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October). The temperature at this time is suitable for root germination, and the survival rate of the planting is very high.

How to change the pot and soil of Bear's Paw

1. Material preparation: Prepare the tools for repotting the Bear's Paw in advance, including Bear's Paw potted plants, scissors, flower pots, soil, clean water and other materials.

2. Remove from the pot: First, take the bear's paw out of the old pot. Be gentle during the removal process so as not to damage the roots of the bear's paw. After taking out the bear's paw, shake the roots to shake off the excess soil at the roots.

Then wash the roots of the bear's paw with clean water and tidy up the roots. Then observe the roots carefully. If you find any dead or rotten roots, cut them off with scissors in time. After trimming the root system, soak it in carbendazim for disinfection and sterilization. Keep it in a well-ventilated place and wait for the wounds to dry.

3. Choose potting soil: It is recommended to use breathable ceramic pots for planting bear's paw. The planting soil can be mixed with coarse sand, vermiculite, and leaf mold. The soil prepared in this way is both breathable and well-drained, which is suitable for growing bear's paw.

4. Planting in pots: After the soil is prepared, first expose it to the sun for disinfection, then put it into the pot, shake the pot to make the soil flat, spray some water, dig a hole in the soil, put the bear's paw in the hole, and then let the roots grow naturally, straighten them out and place them, fill the surrounding soil, and lightly compact it.

Notes on changing soil for Bear Paw

1. Root easing : After putting the Bear's Paw back into the pot, do not water it immediately to avoid root damage. Generally, you need to wait for 3-5 days for the roots to acclimate before adding appropriate water. If the environment is very dry and the soil is also dry, you can spray an appropriate amount of moisturizing spray.

2. Light : At this time, we should not place the flower pot in a place with strong light. Put it in a cool and ventilated place first, because the root system has not recovered yet, so avoid dehydration of the plant.

3. Soil : When changing the soil of Bear's Paw, you can use loose, fertile, well-drained soil. You can mix coarse sand, vermiculite, and leaf mold. Such soil is beneficial to the growth of the plant.

4. Base fertilizer : When changing the soil of Bear's Paw, you can apply some base fertilizer. It is best to use compound fertilizer and decomposed thin liquid fertilizer.

5. Repotting with soil : For transplanting young plants of Bear's Paw into pots, it is recommended to repot them with soil, which is more conducive to survival. After all, young plants are relatively tender and have poor adaptability to the new environment. Repotting with old soil is more conducive to the seedlings to slowly grow and adapt to the new environment.

Maintenance method of Bear's Paw after soil change

1. After changing the soil of Bear's Paw, you can place it in a place with bright scattered light. Wait for three to five days for the plant to adapt to the pot. Only after the plant has adapted to the pot can you see some weak light. After it has adapted to the environment and grown normally, you can expose it to the sun directly.

2. Before changing the soil of young Bear's Paw plants, you can moisten the soil in advance. After potting them, place them in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth. No watering is required during this period. When repotting mature plants, it is generally necessary to keep the soil in the pot dry. Do not water them immediately, otherwise the wounds on the roots will easily become infected.

3. Whether it is transplanting a small seedling or repotting a mature plant, the bear's paw should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth after potting, and avoid direct sunlight. In particular, be careful not to water it immediately. Even if you water it, the root system of the plant has not yet recovered its absorption function. Instead, it will be infected with bacteria due to the overly moist soil in the pot, affecting its survival.

4. After the Bear's Paw has successfully adapted to the pot, you can water it, and make sure to water it enough. At the same time, gradually increase the light to increase photosynthesis and promote the growth of the plant. In the later stage, you can carry out scientific management according to the normal maintenance process.

5. During the cultivation process of Bear's Paw, the amount of watering is not controlled well. Once too much watering is given, it will easily lead to rot of the roots of the plant, which will cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow.
