How to change the soil of peacock arrowroot

1. Soil replacement time

The main consideration is temperature. It is most suitable in spring, specifically in April or May, because the temperature is still relatively low at the beginning of spring.

2. Preparation

1. Matrix: There are two main requirements for it. First, it should contain rich nutrients to be beneficial for future growth. Secondly, the substrate should be breathable to facilitate root breathing, and it should also have good drainage. Specifically, you can use peat soil mixed with some sand.

2. Root pruning: After removing the plant from the pot, it must be properly pruned. The main thing is to prune the roots, cut off the rotten roots, and comb out the messy roots. Note that you should be careful when pruning so as not to damage the healthy roots, and then let them dry.

3. Repotting

After preparing the substrate, pour out the original soil in the pot and fill part of it with new soil. After the wounds from pruning the plant have dried, you can repot it. After placing the plant in the pot, fill it with another portion of new soil and compact the soil.

4. Post-maintenance

Water thoroughly after potting. Afterwards, in order to adapt it to the environment as quickly as possible, place it in a semi-shaded place.
