Precautions for dividing the pot of Aspidistra

Precautions for dividing the pot of Aspidistra

time

The Aspidistra can be divided and planted separately after the temperature warms up in spring and before new buds sprout, combined with repotting. It is usually carried out after the soil thaws in February or March .

method

Remove the mother plant from the pot, shake off excess soil, and separate the tangled roots as much as possible.

Use a sharp knife to separate the plants, making sure each one has some root system. The next step is to trim the leaves, ensuring that each cluster has 3 to 5 leaves, which is conducive to survival.

Disinfection of pots

Soak the divided small plants in 1500 times diluted Benomyl for five minutes, take them out and let them dry, then they can be replanted. However, the soil must also be disinfected before planting.

Basin

Before planting, place a 2 to 3 cm thick coarse substrate at the bottom of the pot as a water filter layer, and then place the plant in it. After potting, water it thoroughly and then place it in a shaded place for maintenance.

Maintenance

After transplanting, the root system will be damaged to a certain extent and the absorption capacity will be weakened. It will take about 3 to 4 weeks to recover, so before that, watering should be controlled to avoid root rot. However, dividing the pot does not have a big impact on the growth of leaves. In order to maintain the water balance of the leaves, it is necessary to spray the leaves 1 to 3 times a day. There is no need to fertilize after dividing the pots, and be careful not to get too strong sunlight.
