Time and method of changing soil for Aspidistra

Time to change the soil of Aspidistra

The best time to change the soil for Aspidistra is in spring and summer every year, because the temperature returns and the temperature difference decreases at this time. If you change the pot at this time, the plant will have enough time to adapt to the new environment, so the best time to change the pot is in April and May.

How to repot and change soil for Aspidistra

1. Choose potting soil: Aspidistra is not tolerant to waterlogging, so the soil you change should be one with good drainage and high looseness. This kind of soil will not cause water accumulation in the potting soil, and the high looseness of the soil has a high oxygen content, which is suitable for the growth of this barren-resistant plant.

2. Remove from the pot: You need to gently grasp the base of the Aspidistra with your hands, then turn it upside down and gently tap the pot to separate the pot and the plant. After separation, clean the soil, then repair the rotten and dry roots on the plant's root system, and then put it in a bactericidal solution for disinfection to avoid infection of the incision.

3. Planting: Bury the treated Aspidistra into the new potting soil, fill the soil up to the base of the plant, and then place it where the sun cannot reach it directly. After about a week, the plant will be able to adapt to the new potting soil.

Precautions for changing soil for Aspidistra

1. When repotting Aspidistra, you must remember not to dry out the roots and do not expose them to the sun. Dry roots will lose water and it will be difficult to grow roots. It will be difficult to resume planting after the roots have dried up. If there are fungi in the soil, the wounds will inevitably be infected. You must add carbendazim to prevent wound infection from causing adverse conditions.

2. Aspidistra prefers warm, shaded and humid environment, and is relatively resistant to barrenness, so it will use loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam.

3. After changing the soil of Aspidistra, you can apply decomposed human and animal manure, or you can buy special flower fertilizer. It is important to add some broken bones and cake fertilizer as base fertilizer when repotting.

Maintenance method of Aspidistra after soil change

1. The care of Aspidistra is very simple. Prepare loose and breathable soil, ensure a certain degree of ventilation, provide appropriate scattered light, and regularly supplement it with multi-element fertilizer 2-3 times a month. It will continue to grow and you can easily grow it to the point where the pot is full.

2. After changing the soil of Aspidistra, watering is very important. It should be watered thoroughly after repotting, and then watered every 3-4 days. After it resumes normal growth, water it in time according to the soil moisture conditions.

3. The leaves of the leaf orchid turn yellow after the soil is changed, which is largely due to improper watering. It likes a humid environment, so it should be watered more frequently. The principle of high frequency and small amount of water should be followed.

4. Aspidistra can see the sun about a week after changing the soil. Before that, it needs to be maintained in a cool environment. When it is in a light environment, it needs to avoid strong light exposure.
