What should I pay attention to when repotting plum blossoms?

1. Time to change pots

The time for repotting can be chosen between March and April each year. It is best to choose a cloudy day without strong winds. Do not choose a sunny day with strong light because the transpiration is too strong, which can easily cause the plant to lack water and dry up.

2. Flowerpot soil

If the plant grows more in the new year, you can choose a flowerpot according to the current size of the plant to ensure that it is commensurate with the plant and meets the growth requirements. If there is not much growth, you can also use old pots, but they must be disinfected beforehand, exposed to strong light for 4-5 hours, then rinsed and brushed clean with disinfectant, and then rinsed again. The preparation of the new loam still meets the previous requirements, which is that it must be breathable and permeable, have drainage properties, and be fertile and nutritious.

3. Remove the plant

When taking out the plant, be sure to be careful not to damage the root system. Stop watering for 2-3 days before repotting to help the plant escape from it. Remove the old soil attached to the outside, and cut off the rotten roots, decayed roots, and old roots together, without damaging the healthy roots.

4. Repotting

When potting, hold the plant with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand, constantly adjust the position of the plant, plant it in the center, then add half of the loam and gently press the soil to make it firm.
