When is the best time to repot hibiscus? Which month is suitable for repotting?

Hibiscus flower repotting time

Hibiscus needs to be repotted, generally every 1-2 years. This can satisfy the growth of the root system and provide more nutrients to meet the growth needs of the plant. It is best to repot in spring. This is the germination and growth period of hibiscus. It can quickly adapt to the new environment and resume growth, and its survival rate can be guaranteed.

How to repot hibiscus

1. Prepare the soil pot

Before repotting hibiscus, you need to prepare a suitable pot. You can use a large wooden pot for planting. The soil needs to be loose, fertile and well-drained. You can mix 7 parts of garden soil and 3 parts of compost soil. Do not use heavy clay soil, which is not conducive to the growth of the root system.

2. Repotting

Remove the hibiscus from the old potting soil. Be careful not to damage the roots. Then observe the root system and cut off the weak roots and old root stumps. Then you can plant it in new soil. After covering the soil, water it slightly and keep the soil slightly moist. This is conducive to contact between its roots and soil.

3. Post-maintenance

After the hibiscus flower is repotted, it should not be exposed to strong light and should be kept in a well-ventilated semi-shaded place. Then it should be gradually moved to a sunny place for maintenance. This will help it adapt to the new environment. After it resumes growth, it needs to be regularly fertilized with thin fertilizer so that it can grow vigorously. It also needs to be pruned reasonably according to the growth of the plant.

Things to note when repotting hibiscus

After repotting the hibiscus, you can water it thoroughly once so that the root system can be closely integrated with the soil, which is good for it to acclimate to the pot. In addition, the hibiscus grows slowly after repotting, so no fertilizer is needed at this time, but watering should also be controlled. After it takes root, apply dilute liquid fertilizer and replenish water in time to promote vigorous growth of the plant.
