How to repot Chinese evergreen

How to repot Chinese evergreen

1. When

For this plant, it is best to repot it in spring and autumn. Because in summer, the temperature is relatively high and the roots of the plants will easily rot. If it is winter and the temperature is very low, it would be even more inappropriate.

2. Specific steps

(1) Potting: First, we can choose a new pot for the plant. Then, place a few pieces of broken potting soil over the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Control the concave side of the fragment downward. You don't need too many pieces, three or four will be enough. Then, add some coarse-grained substrate.

(2) Repotting: This step refers to pouring out the original pot of the plant. However, be careful not to water it before and keep it relatively dry. In this way, the soil ball will be easier to come out intact when pouring. Tip the flowerpot upside down, hold it with one hand, and use the other hand to knock on the edge of the pot to make the plant and soil ball come out smoothly.

(3) Clean the roots: remove the excess soil. In addition, older roots and diseased roots also need to be removed. If some new white roots grow, you can move the plant completely to a new pot. After dealing with these, we need to rinse it and put it in a cool place. Wait until it is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.

(4) Potting: Hold the plant with your hands and place it in the center of the new pot. Control the depth and slowly add substrate. When the pot is full, shake it and use your fingers to press the substrate so that it is one to two centimeters away from the edge of the pot.

(5) Post-management: After completing the above steps, we need to give it enough water. Pour until it flows out from the bottom of the hole. In addition, shading is also a necessary measure.
