How to repot lotus

Repotting method

Most families grow water lilies in pots with larger diameters, so it is relatively easy to repot. The detailed steps are as follows:

Preparations should be started half a month in advance before repotting. Do not water and try to keep the soil in the pot dry.

Wait until the soil becomes dry and the pot and soil become separated.

Turning it upside down saves time and effort, and it is also easy to remove the old soil without damaging the roots.

Then take out the lotus root carefully without breaking the lotus buds. Sort the lotus roots, the darker ones are from last year and can be thrown away!

After finishing the preparation, you can put the lotus roots and soil back into the pot and water them!

Precautions

Before repotting, to prevent the soil from drying out, you can pour out the water in the flowerpot two days in advance and let it dry for a few days.

After repotting, you need to separate the new lotus roots from last year. Be careful not to be too rough to avoid splitting the lotus roots.

After finishing, put the soil back into the pot and water it according to the principle of small amounts and multiple times. Water more the first time and then reduce the amount thereafter.
