Do I need to prune the roots when repotting Begonia? What should I pay attention to when repotting?

1. Do you need to repair the roots?

When repotting the crabapple, it is necessary to trim the roots appropriately according to the situation. Generally speaking, the crabapple will be repotted after being cultivated for at least one year. During its growth period, it may have a long root system, and some rotten roots or diseased roots that grow poorly. Such roots need to be pruned. If it is not pruned off, it will affect the later growth of the plant. Because the rotten root system will continue to expand, severe cases may cause the death of the plant.

2. Notes on changing pots

1. Time: The timing of repotting is very important. Make sure to do it when the weather is clear and not in too hot or too cold weather.

2. Flower pots: New flower pots should be prepared in advance. Do not use pots that are too shallow and the diameter of the pots should not be too small. The new pot should be at least one size larger than the plant; if it is too small it will restrict its growth.

3. Disinfection: After repotting and root pruning, disinfection is required. The roots of the plant should be soaked in carbendazim or potassium permanganate. It is best to disinfect the new soil as well, which will cause less harm to plant growth.

4. Maintenance: After repotting, place the crabapple in a cool and ventilated place. Do not rush to expose it to the sun. You can temporarily place it on the balcony. And don't water too frequently. Generally, after watering thoroughly after repotting, you have to wait until the soil becomes dry before watering again.
