What kind of pot should be used to plant red spider lilies? Can the red spider lilies be repotted in summer?

1. What basin to use

The diameter of the flowerpot for planting red spider lilies is between 20-30 cm. Ceramic pots or clay pots are usually chosen as they have better air permeability. 2-3 can be planted in a flowerpot, but be careful to keep a certain distance. Putting them too close will affect their growth. The potting soil is generally loose and fertile sandy loam. In order to ensure the healthy growth of the plant, an appropriate amount of base fertilizer is generally added.

2. Can I change the pot in summer?

You can change the pot for the red spider lily in summer. This plant does not like high temperatures and will enter a dormant state in summer. Repotting at this time will not delay its growth. If you change the pot in spring and autumn, it will affect the plant's absorption of water and nutrients, and the growth of the bulbs will be restricted, making it difficult for the plant to bloom in the second year. If the temperature is relatively low in winter, the plant may easily get frozen when repotting, which is not conducive to its survival.

3. Repotting Method

1. Loosen the soil and remove from the pot: Before you repot the red spider lily, you need to loosen the soil appropriately to ensure that the pot wall and the plant are separated, and then take it out. After removing the plant from the pot, check its roots to see if there are any old or dead roots. If there are any, cut them off immediately and spray carbendazim for disinfection to prevent infection of the wound.

2. Preparation of potting soil: When changing the pot of the red spider lily, you also need to change the soil. It is appropriate to use loose and fertile sandy loam, or you can prepare it yourself. Generally, peat soil, garden soil and perlite are used, mixed together in a ratio of 2:2:1, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer is added, so that the plants can obtain nutrients during the growth process.

3. Potting and maintenance: Place tiles and bricks at the bottom of the new pot to improve drainage. Then spread the prepared potting soil on top, place the plant upright, and fill it with new soil. After potting, it needs to be watered appropriately and placed in a semi-shaded place to avoid sunlight so that it can safely pass through the seedling growth period.
