How to repot the golden barrel cactus

Why should I change the pot of golden echinops?

The growth of the golden barrel cactus is also relatively fast. When it grows to a certain size, the entire sphere will fill the flowerpot, that is, it will overflow. In order not to hinder its continued growth, the golden barrel cactus must be repotted to promote its further growth.

How to repot golden echinops

Step 1: Soak in water

When you need to repot the golden barrel cactus, you can first immerse the pot in water, allowing the water to soak the soil in the pot, and then take it out. This will make it easier to remove the golden barrel cactus from the soil.

After taking out the golden barrel cactus ball, you should immediately wrap the golden barrel cactus ball with something soft, such as foam plastic.

Step 2: Take out the golden amber ball

After completing the first step, you need to push the golden barrel cactus together with the soil up from the small hole at the bottom of the pot. Be careful not to damage the roots and make sure to keep the soil with it.

Then place the golden barrel cactus into the large flowerpot that has been prepared in advance.

Step 3: Filling care

The next step is to choose the right soil and then fill it into the large flowerpot. Do not compact it when filling, but make sure it is loose and cover the roots tightly.

After filling the soil, remove the foam plastic that wrapped the sphere and place it in a ventilated and well-lit place for maintenance. Remember to water it once after 15 days.

Maintenance of golden echinops after repotting

After the sprayed golden amber ball is replaced, you can continue to grow it safely, and make sure it has sufficient light at ordinary times;

After repotting, you should apply fertilizer to replenish the nutrients lost during repotting and promote plant growth.

Also pay attention to watering. The golden barrel cactus is cold-resistant and afraid of waterlogging, so you must water it less frequently.
