Time to repot yew

Yew is a tree with a large plant and a relatively developed root system. As the yew grows taller and larger, it needs to be transplanted and repotted in a timely manner.

If the yew tree is in normal condition, you can choose to change the pot in early spring. It is best to buy it in spring or autumn. The survival rate will be higher if you transplant it at that time, and the cultivation and care will be relatively easier. Well... If the yew tree in your home is in an old pot, you can change the pot all year round. It will be pleasing to the eye to put it in a good-looking pot at home!

Potting soil for yew repotting

When choosing a flower pot, since the roots of the yew will continue to grow during its growth, we should choose a larger pot. If the pot is not big enough, it will affect the growth of the yew.

Many friends thought that the soil at the roots was the best for the plant when they just bought the plant home and changed the pot. They called that soil the original soil. But in fact, it is not the original soil, but the wet mud ball that was temporarily wrapped before transportation from the nursery. That thing must be removed cleanly, and it is not good for the growth of yew. On the contrary, it will inhibit root growth.

After repotting a new yew tree, some friends will ask, "What kind of soil can make the yew grow better?" The best soil for growing yew is slightly acidic, but ordinary soil can also grow well. A pH value between 5.5 and 6.5 is acceptable.

If you are growing bonsai, you can add some nutrients into the soil to make it fertile. It's not difficult.

How to repot yew

When changing pots, some friends may ask, "What should I do with the old pots? Should I break them?" Why should I break them? If you have to break the old pot every time you change the pot, I don’t think many people can afford to grow flowers, right? Haha~ Let me tell you how to change pots!

Friends who have the conditions can break up the old pots, but do not damage the original soil at the roots. There is another method: you can also directly turn the flower pot upside down from the side, use something to push up from the drainage hole at the bottom of the flower pot, and push the soil and yew out of the original flower pot. This is also more convenient, but be careful not to damage the roots of the yew and the soil ball at the roots when pushing. Use one of these two methods to move the yew tree into a new pot, and remember to water it frequently so that the roots of the yew tree can be closely integrated with the soil, making it easy for the yew tree to survive! If you have the conditions, you can transplant the yew seedlings to a large field to take care of them, and they will grow faster.

Although the yew tree will not die if it is not repotted in a larger pot, it is not good for its growth and may affect its growth. If the root system cannot extend, and instead a large number of roots are crowded in a small space, it will have a very bad impact on the growth of the yew tree. Friends who grow yew trees should pay attention. They must repot the yew trees every year, repair the dense old roots, and cut off some of the rotten roots. This will increase the space for the growth of new roots. Just like we would feel uncomfortable and restrained if the environment we grow up in is too small, let alone the yew tree with such a developed root system ~ right!

Well, that’s all the little knowledge about how to repot yew trees. Has it been helpful to you? ~
