How to repot lavender? When to repot lavender?

1. Time to change pots

The time to repot lavender is usually in spring. Due to long-term watering and fertilizing, the soil can easily harden and become compacted, so it needs to be repotted once a year. If the pot is not changed in time, the growth of the roots will be restricted and its breathing will be affected. At the same time, when watering, the water cannot penetrate well, which is not conducive to the development of the plant.

2. Stop water and remove basin

Before you repot the lavender, stop watering it for a while to allow the soil in the pot to dry gradually. When the soil is dry, it will separate from the pot wall, making it easier to remove it from the pot. Before removing the flower from the pot, you can loosen the soil around the inner wall of the pot, hold the soil ball and slowly take it out, and do not damage the leaves and roots, otherwise it will affect the subsequent recovery.

3. New soil preparation

The new soil for lavender must be loose and fertile, which is conducive to the breathing of the roots and can also provide nutrients for its growth. It is generally prepared with garden soil, peat soil and river sand, with the ratio of the three being 5:3:2. At the same time, a little organic fertilizer should be added as base fertilizer. To ensure health, the soil needs to be exposed to the sun first to kill germs and insect eggs.

4. Potting and Maintenance

After preparing a new pot and new soil, you can plant it in the pot. Place the plant upright in the pot and fill it with the prepared soil. During the filling process, you can lift it up from time to time to make the roots stick close to the soil. After potting, you can water it once and place it in a semi-shaded place with good ventilation. Wait until the branches and leaves start to grow again, and then carry out normal maintenance.
