Milan repotting method and steps

1. Depotting : It is recommended to cut off water one week before depotting. When depotting, first use a small shovel to draw a circle along the inner wall of the pot, or tap the outer wall of the pot to make the potting soil easier to separate. Then turn the pot upside down, hold the rhizome, and take it out carefully.

2. Prune the roots : After digging out the plant, shake off the soil around the roots to expose most of the plant's roots, then cut off the rotten roots, old roots and excess fibrous roots, then use diluted carbendazim to disinfect and sterilize, and finally dry the roots.

3. Prepare the potting soil : Prepare a larger flowerpot with good air permeability. Choose new soil that is soft, fertile and well-drained. You can mix half garden soil and half old soil, and then disinfect the potting soil.

4. Plant in the pot : Place the plant in the middle of the prepared soil, fill the soil after the roots are expanded, compact the soil lightly and water it thoroughly, and finally place it in a cool place.
