The best time to repot the old persimmon and the method of removing the pot and pruning the roots

The right time to repot old persimmon

The time to repot the old crow's persimmon is generally from February to May, but the old crow's persimmon can be repotted basically all year round. The old crow's persimmon prefers a warm and humid environment, but is also relatively shade-tolerant. The growth temperature is 18℃-28℃. When the winter temperature is below -2℃, it is recommended to place the old crow's persimmon indoors after repotting, which can make the old crow's persimmon grow better.

Preparations for repotting old persimmon

Before planting the old crow's nest plant in a pot, you need to prepare a suitable pot that is slightly larger than the original pot. It is best to use a clay pot or a ceramic pot. At the same time, you need to choose good soil. It is recommended to use freshwater river sand, garden soil and humus soil, and mix them in a ratio of 3:3:4. However, you need to disinfect the mixed soil and do not use it directly, as it may cause root rot.

Methods and key points for repotting old persimmon

1. Remove the pot and prune the roots

When repotting, do not water for a few days to ensure that the soil is loose. Then slowly take the old crow's nest plant out of the pot, being careful not to damage the root system. All old and dead roots in the root system should be cut off to facilitate the later growth of the old crow's nest plant.

2. Planting in pots

After preparation, put tiles on the bottom of the new flowerpot, then fill it with soil, then support the old crow's nest and transplant it into the flowerpot, press the soil around it firmly, then water it thoroughly and place it in the shade.
