When is the time to repot the crabapple? What should I do if the leaves are dry after repotting?

1. Time to change pots

If you want to repot the crabapple, you have to choose the right time. In spring and autumn, the weather is generally good, not too hot or too cold. Repotting at this time will not affect its growth. If the weather is suitable, it can also adapt to the soil environment quickly.

The climate in summer is very hot and humid, and the temperature is very high. If you change the pot at this time, its roots are likely to be infected with bacteria. The opposite is true in winter, when the temperature will be very low, and its ability to adapt to the new environment after repotting will be slower.

2. What to do if the leaves are dry

After repotting the crabapple, you need to water it. If you don't water it after repotting, the plant will dry out. It also cannot be exposed to the sun. If the leaves become dry, place the plant in a slightly shady place and add some water to it. It will generally recover after a few days. If the leaves still dry up, there may be a problem with the root system, then you need to remove the plant from the pot and trim the roots.

3. Notes

When repotting crabapples, you should use cleaner pots. When repotting, you need to trim off the rotten roots, and remember to disinfect after pruning, otherwise it is likely to be infected with bacteria. After repotting, place it in a ventilated and cool location and wait for it to slowly adapt to the environment. After it adapts, you can maintain it normally.
