Tiger Pilan repotting and precautions

Time to repot tiger lily

The Sansevieria is generally repotted every 2-3 years, and the best time to do so is in early spring.

How to repot Tiger Pilan

Remove the snake plant and the old soil, and replace it with nutrient soil mixed with leaf mold and coarse sand. When the snake plant is larger, it can be propagated by division in combination with repotting. When dividing the plants, first carefully remove the old soil around the plant stems to expose the thick rhizomes, then cut them off at the appropriate positions with a sharp knife and plant them in separate pots.

Precautions for repotting Tiger Pilan

When dividing the plant, do not cut the Sansevieria into single plants. Since each Sansevieria plant only produces one leaf a year, the recovery speed of transplanted single leaves is very slow and the ornamental value is poor.

Regarding watering, do not water it after potting it. Place the Sansevieria under diffuse light. After a week, you can pour a small amount of water along the edge of the pot to control the moisture and avoid root rot, especially for those propagated by division. Too much water can easily cause wound rot. It is suitable to choose soil with good air permeability and water permeability, and avoid water accumulation in the pot.
