Time and method of changing soil in Jade Dew

Time to change the soil

Jade plant is usually repotted in spring and autumn. Its roots will continuously secrete acidic substances, which can easily lead to soil acidification over a long period of time, causing the roots of the plant to become hollow and accelerating root aging. It is necessary to repot and change the soil in time.

How to change the pot and soil of Jade Dew

When repotting the jade plant, you first need to tidy up the roots and then prune them, mainly by cutting off aging and hollow roots. For roots that have grown too long, they need to be shortened appropriately, leaving only the relatively thick white new roots. After pruning the roots, the wounds on the roots must be sterilized and disinfected before putting the plant in the pot.
