Time and method of changing soil in red nanmu

Time to change the soil

It is best to change the soil of red nanmu in spring from March to April, because the climate at this time is relatively mild, and the temperature and humidity are very suitable. Changing the soil at this time will not have a major impact on the plant, and the plant can adapt to the pot as soon as possible after changing the soil.

How to change the pot and soil of red nanmu

Before repotting and changing the soil for the red nanmu, you need to prepare a new flower pot and substrate. It is advisable to use a purple clay pot or a glazed pottery pot. The new substrate is best to use leaf mold or mountain mud. After changing the soil, control the water for a few days, and carefully remove the plant from the old pot after the soil is dry.

Because the lateral roots of red nanmu are relatively developed but the fibrous roots are relatively few, it should be planted in a pot with soil. A layer of coarse sand or vermiculite should be placed at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. First fill part of the pot with new substrate, then put the plant in, and continue to fill in the remaining soil.

Precautions for changing soil for red nanmu

1. When changing the soil of the red nanmu, you need to pay attention to protecting the root system from damage, so that it can survive easily. And you cannot remove all the soil above the root system, you need to keep a part of it, and then pot it.

2. It is better to use acidic or slightly acidic soil for changing the soil of red nanmu. It is best to use leaf mold or mountain mud to ensure that the texture is loose and rich in humus, which is conducive to plant growth.

3. It is better to apply some farmyard manure when changing the soil of the red nanmu. Farmyard manure is a relatively natural fertilizer, which does no harm to the plant and can provide nutrients to the plant to help it resume growth as soon as possible.

Maintenance method of red nanmu after soil change

1. After changing the soil, it is best to grow it in a place with scattered light. Keep the soil slightly moist at ordinary times, but do not allow water to accumulate. During the growth period, the plant has a relatively large demand for nutrients, so it is sufficient to apply fertilizer about once every half a month.

1. After changing the soil of red nanmu, you need to water it thoroughly immediately to keep the soil moist, which will be more conducive to the plant adapting to the pot.

1. There are three main reasons why the leaves of red nanmu turn yellow after changing the soil. One is lack of light, the second is too much watering, and the third is lack of nutrients, all of which will cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow.

After changing the soil, the red nanmu cannot be exposed to light immediately. It should be placed in a cool place and wait for it to grow roots before normal maintenance.
