The time and method of changing the soil of the lucky tree

Lucky tree soil replacement time

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to change the soil of the lucky tree around March to May in spring. The climate at this time is more suitable, and changing the soil will not cause too much damage to the plant, and the plant can resume growth as soon as possible.

How to repot and change soil for the lucky tree

When changing the pot and soil of the lucky tree, you need to prepare acidic soil, and leaf mold is better. First loosen the original potting soil, then carefully take the lucky tree out of the old pot and separate the roots of the plant.

Properly trim the roots of the lucky tree and disinfect it, then plant it directly in a new pot. Some of the old soil in the new pot needs to be retained, and then new soil should be added to the rest, so that the lucky tree can adapt to the new environment faster.

Things to note when changing the soil for the lucky tree

1. The root system of the lucky tree is relatively developed. In order to avoid damaging the root system, the roots and soil of the lucky tree should be taken out together when removing the pot, and then the roots and soil should be slowly separated to ensure the plant survives intact after repotting and changing the soil.

2. When changing the soil for the lucky tree, you can generally choose to use loose, fertile, and well-drained culture soil. It can usually be prepared by mixing garden soil, leaf mold, decomposed organic fertilizer, and river sand.

3. The lucky tree is a foliage plant. The base fertilizer generally applied can be decomposed organic fertilizer or farmyard manure. These fertilizers are relatively sufficient in nutrients and are beneficial to the growth of the plant.

Maintenance method of lucky tree after soil change

1. After changing the soil of the lucky tree, you need to control its growth temperature, preferably between 18℃-21℃. Spray water on the leaves once in the morning and evening every day to keep the leaves moist and meet the water demand. For indoor cultivation, place it on a balcony or window with sufficient light.

2. The lucky tree cannot be watered immediately after changing the soil. It needs to be kept dry first. It can be watered once after about 5 days of maintenance.

3. It is normal for the leaves of the lucky tree to turn yellow after changing the soil. Because the plant has not yet adapted to the new potting soil and has not grown, its leaves will turn yellow due to lack of water.

4. The lucky tree cannot be exposed to the sun immediately after the soil is changed. It needs to be placed in a dark place to nourish the roots for about 5 to 10 days before it can be exposed to the sun.
