When and how to change the soil of banyan trees

Banyan tree soil replacement time

It is best to change the soil for the banyan tree during the plum rain season, because the rainfall at this time is very heavy, the air humidity is very high, and the temperature at this time is about 25 degrees, which is more suitable for the plant to grow and adapt to the pot as soon as possible.

Banyan tree repotting and soil changing method

The banyan tree should be watered sufficiently two days before changing the soil to make the plant easy to take out. When choosing a new pot, you should first consider the size of the banyan tree. The pot should not be too small, as this will hinder its growth, but it should not be too large either.

After preparing a new flowerpot and potting soil, spread a layer of broken tiles on the bottom, spread some river sand on it, and then plant the plant directly into the river sand. Then slowly fill it with new soil and pat the pot to make it in closer contact.

Things to note when changing the soil for banyan trees

1. Two days before changing the soil for the banyan tree, you need to water the soil in the pot thoroughly. This will allow the pot and soil to be better separated and avoid damaging its roots when taking out the plant.

2. When changing the soil for banyan trees, you can use a mixture of garden soil, humus soil, and sand. This kind of potting soil is fertile, loose, and highly breathable and water-permeable, which is conducive to the growth of the plant.

3. It is better to apply bean cake fertilizer, bone meal or fully fermented chicken manure as base fertilizer when changing the soil of the banyan tree to ensure sufficient nutrients so that the plant can grow faster and better.

Maintenance method of banyan tree after soil change

1. After changing the soil of the banyan tree, place it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. Wait for a period of time before exposing it to the sun. Add water for the second time after the soil becomes dry, and then you can maintain it normally.

2. Do not water the banyan tree immediately after changing the soil. Wait half a day before watering it, and water it thoroughly at one time. In addition, if the roots of the plant are injured, wait 1-2 days before watering to avoid infection.

3. The banyan tree cannot be exposed to the sun immediately after the soil is changed. It needs a week of seedling acclimatization period before the plant can be exposed to the sun.
