How to repot the Brazilian wood

When to repot the Brazilian tree

The best time to repot the rubber tree is usually in spring and autumn, because the tree grows slowly during this period.

The cycle of repotting Brazilian wood

The repotting cycle of the rubber tree depends on the size of the pot, the type of rubber tree and the growth momentum of the tree. Generally speaking, a larger pot should be replaced every 2 to 3 years, and a smaller pot should be replaced every 1 to 2 years. If the growth rate of your own rubber tree is relatively slow, you can replace it every 3 to 5 years.

Repotting of Brazilian wood

A very important thing when repotting the rubber tree is to change the soil in the pot. Each time you repot, you should replace the soil in the pot according to the actual situation. Generally, remove about half of the old soil and then replace it with new soil.

Root treatment of Brazilian wood when repotting

After growing for 1 to 2 years, the root system of the rubber tree will basically spread throughout the entire flowerpot, which will affect the plant's absorption of water and nutrients. Therefore, when repotting, the rotten and aging roots must be removed. Therefore, when repotting, the roots must be disinfected with drugs to prevent the plant roots from being infected by bacteria.
