How to repot African violets

African violet pot selection

To repot the African violet, you can replace the potting soil. The first thing to do is to choose a pot.

The root system of African violets is not very developed, so when choosing a pot, do not choose a pot that is too large, so as not to affect the growth of the plant. A more suitable flowerpot is a small one, not too big, just enough for the growth of the African violet. If you want to choose a larger flowerpot, the pot should not be too deep and the soil should not be too thick.

African violet soil

When repotting, you need to change the soil. Generally, you should choose softer soil, such as peat soil, peat soil or leaf mold. It is best to disinfect it before use. You can add a little perlite to the soil.

The soil of African violets is usually changed in spring.

Repotting African Violets

First, remove the African violet plant from its original pot and then move it to a new pot. Put soil in the pot, and be careful not to fill it too full. Generally, it should be some distance away from the edge of the pot. Then place the African violet plant into the pot and fill it with soil, making sure to compact the soil.

After repotting, water the plant thoroughly, and then wait for it to grow slowly before you can maintain it normally.
