What to do if the avocado wilts after repotting? How to transplant avocado

1. What to do if you wilt

If the avocado wilts after being repotted, it is likely because its roots are damaged. At this time, you need to place it in a semi-shaded place to avoid direct sunlight. At the same time, you must control the temperature and humidity, and water it with some nutrient solution. If it is because the soil is unsuitable, the soil needs to be replaced in time to prevent the situation from further deteriorating and affecting the growth of the plants.

2. How to transplant

1. Stop watering and remove the pot: Before transplanting, stop watering and let the soil in the pot dry a little. If the soil is too moist, the roots may be damaged when transplanting. It should be noted that since this plant is sensitive to water, you cannot wait until the soil is completely dry. As long as the edge of the pot is relatively dry, you can loosen the soil appropriately and take it out of the pot.

2. Proper root pruning: After taking the avocado out of the pot, observe the growth of the roots. Old roots and dead roots need to be cut off as soon as possible to avoid rotting and affecting the growth of the plant. The scissors used for root pruning need to be disinfected, and after pruning, they should be sprayed with carbendazim appropriately to prevent wound infection.

3. Planting in pots: Use loose and fertile sandy loam as the new substrate. You can expose it to the sun before use to kill the germs and insect eggs inside through high temperature exposure. After exposure to the sun, put the soil into the pot and add a little gravel at the bottom to increase its drainage. Place the plant upright in the pot and fill it with soil.

4. Subsequent maintenance: After transplanting, it is necessary to water thoroughly to replenish the water lost due to removing the pot. After watering it thoroughly, place it in semi-shaded area to avoid direct sunlight. After the plant resumes growth, expose it to appropriate light and apply some fertilizer to accelerate its growth.
