When to repot Monstera

1. Time

In fact, the best time to repot is between March and May, and between August and September. Because it is a plant that is afraid of cold, we have to provide it with the necessary temperature. If it is in winter, the temperature will be relatively low, and in summer it is imaginable to be high, so spring and autumn are better times, and the temperature is generally between ten and twenty degrees.

2. Preparation

Before repotting, we must control the variable factor of watering, because repotting requires a relatively dry environment.

3. Soil

The soil factor is actually not particularly important, because there is actually a relatively wide range of choices. Some environments with relatively high nutrients, such as leaf mold and pond mud, can be used. At this time, some old soil and dead roots cannot be retained. At the same time, we must remember to retain one-third of the original soil.

4. Pruning

After it is removed from the pot, we need to prune it. The general procedure is to disinfect the scissors first, and then cut off all the useless roots, such as rotten and old roots. Then we put it in a place with good ventilation to dry, and then place it in the new pot we need.

5. Watering

Watering is necessary, but not casually. We cannot water it in the short term after repotting. After the first watering, we need to put it in a warmer place. The next watering should wait until the soil is dry.

6. Flower Pots

The choice of flower pots is also a serious topic. We should choose a taller pot because it grows faster. A short pot will cause its branches to bend. In addition, we also need to pay attention to the good drainage and ventilation conditions. As for specific materials, ceramic basins and porcelain basins are recommended, both of which are very good.
