When is the best month to repot Christmas cactus

1. When is the best month to change the pot?

Its flowering period is not the same for all species and varies according to the variety. Its flowering period is usually from September to April of the following year. If you want to repot it, it is best to choose after the flowering period, because it is more fragile during the flowering period and cannot be watered too much, moved or fertilized. Therefore, the best time to repot is from April to October after flowering, which will not have any impact on its flowers.

2. How to change the pot

1. Choose a flower pot: First, you need to choose a suitable flower pot. Generally, a clay pot is used, but plastic pots, porcelain pots and ceramic pots are also acceptable. The size of the pot should be determined according to its growth conditions.

2. Add base fertilizer: Add a little sandy loam to the new pot, and then add a little base fertilizer for sufficient nutrition in the later stage. The fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer or bone meal, and a small amount of wood ash can be added.

3. Replacement: Use tools to take it out of the original pot, then slowly put it in the new pot, and then pour a small amount of water on it.

4. Subsequent maintenance: Don’t rush to expose it to the sun directly. Wait until it grows new branches and leaves, then it can slowly accept light.
