How to repot osmanthus

1. Remove the roots

Do not water the plant two to three days before repotting to allow the soil to shrink, making it easier to remove the root soil from the pot. When removing the roots, first use a bamboo stick to insert it into the soil along the edge and draw a circle inside the soil. Then use your index and middle fingers to pinch the stem of the plant, turn the pot upside down, and tap the pot wall lightly with your palm to separate the soil from the pot.

2. Remove soil and prune roots

Remove the soil on the surface and the bottom of the osmanthus soil ball, use scissors to cut off the thick roots, old roots, dead roots and curled roots of the osmanthus root system, and then place it in a cool place to dry for a while.

3. Put it in the basin

Choose a suitable flowerpot according to the size of the plant. It is best to use a clay pot. Disinfect the flowerpot and soak it in water in advance. Put a tile in the flowerpot with the convex side facing up and place it on the drainage hole. Add culture soil and apply slow-release fertilizer. Then place the dried soil lump in the middle and cover it with soil. Use the squat pot method to compact the soil. Then carry out post-maintenance.
