Time and method of changing soil of red sandalwood

Time to change the soil of red sandalwood

For small-leaf red sandalwood, the best time to change the soil is during its dormant period and in spring. Because spring is the budding stage, the soil can be changed before budding, so that its growth rate will be faster and there will be no accidents.

How to change pot and soil of red sandalwood

Stop watering the small-leaf red sandalwood 1-22 days before changing the soil. This will make it easier for the plant to fall out of the pot when changing the soil. In addition, the original soil needs to be cleaned when changing the pot. Only a part of the soil on the roots needs to be kept, and pruning is also required.

Things to note when changing soil for red sandalwood

When changing the soil of red sandalwood, be careful not to break up the mud ball, because its root system is relatively developed, and it will affect the growth of seedlings. Water it thoroughly after repotting. You can let it sit wet and dry later. Also, place it in a place indoors where the sun can't reach. It can be placed outdoors to expose to sunlight after about twenty days.

Soil : Although the soil requirements of red sandalwood are not high, it is best to choose loose and breathable soil. Do not use pure mud soil. You can use some loam or peat soil, and add a little granular soil.

Base fertilizer : Dalbergia microphylla has a well-developed root system and generally requires loose and fertile soil. Therefore, the potting soil must be fully fertilizered before planting to ensure the needs of the plant's later growth.

Maintenance method of red sandalwood after changing soil

1. After repotting the red sandalwood, be sure not to expose it to the sun. Place it in a cool and ventilated place for slow growth. At this time, be sure to control the amount of watering. Not too much or too little. It is most appropriate for the soil to be dry and moist.

2. After changing the soil, the small-leaf red sandalwood needs to be watered a little. Don’t water it too much for the first time. Watering should not be done at noon, as this will easily cause high temperature and water evaporation in the plant.

3. Small-leaf red sandalwood likes plenty of sunlight. If there is a lack of sunlight, long-term darkness will make photosynthesis impossible and will also cause yellow leaves. Sufficient sunlight needs to be provided.

4. After changing the soil, the small-leaf red sandalwood needs to be placed in a cool place for care for a week, and then gradually exposed to sunlight, but strong sunlight needs to be avoided.
