How to repot Hoya

Repotting

Repotting time

It is best to repot on a sunny day when the air convection is better, usually after 4 pm. Repotting when the temperature is high at noon will damage the root system, so try to avoid it.

Replacement of soil

Hoya likes a high temperature and high humidity environment. In summer, it is either high temperature and high humidity or high temperature and dryness. If you want Hoya to grow, changing the soil is crucial. Therefore, the replaced soil must be breathable and water-permeable. Usually, after repotting and watering thoroughly, the soil will be completely dry within 1 to 2 days.

About base fertilizer

When repotting in summer, the base fertilizer should be appropriate. The base fertilizer should not be too concentrated, because the temperature is too high in summer and the soil at the bottom is stuffy, the ball orchid will grow slowly or temporarily stop growing. If the base fertilizer is too concentrated, fertilizer damage is likely to occur. In short, the principle of applying base fertilizer is, less is better than more. Depending on the growth condition of the Hoya, you can apply additional fertilizer after it resumes growth, but do not add additional fertilizer within one month.

Summer cuttings and repotting

Repotting time

The time is roughly the same, and it is best to choose a sunny day and evening.

Flower Pot Selection

Because it is a small seedling grown from cuttings, you can choose a pot with a smaller diameter, but the depth of the pot can be appropriately deeper (there is no need to use a high-foot pot like an orchid). A deeper pot will prevent the root system from being harmed by the high temperature in summer.

Watering and fertilizing

It is best not to apply base fertilizer to the seedlings for cuttings. A pure soil environment is more conducive to the rooting and survival of the seedlings.

After repotting, water thoroughly and place it in a cool, ventilated place for 3 to 5 days, then maintain it normally. Because the seedlings need to adapt to the new environment after repotting, if it is rainy, you must pay attention to water control. Because the seedlings have few roots and poor absorption capacity, it is easy to cause root rot. Preventing water accumulation at the roots is the key to potting the cuttings.
