Bamboo cypress soil replacement

1. It is best to change the soil of bamboo cypress in spring. The temperature at this time is more moderate, and the bamboo cypress can survive after the soil change. Spring is the budding period of bamboo cypress, and the injured roots can easily recover and grow, which is beneficial to the survival rate of bamboo cypress after repotting.

2. Put coarse-grained substrate in the soil as a water filter, sprinkle a layer of decomposed organic fertilizer, then cover with a thin layer of substrate, and then put the bamboo cypress in. Be careful to separate the fertilizer from the root system to avoid burning the roots.
