How to repot the Buddha Lotus

When to change the pot

The Buddha Lotus has strong vitality and a high survival rate, so there is no need to worry about it not being able to survive.

Repotting is usually done in spring or autumn, when the Buddha Lotus is in its peak growth period. The temperature is too high and too humid in summer, and too cold and dry in winter.

Repotting soil

Do not use only soil or sand as soil, as this will result in poor aeration and drainage.

It is best to use fertile leaf mold or loose and breathable soil such as organic fertilizer and nutrient soil, which can facilitate air circulation and drainage while maintaining sufficient soil nutrients.

Steps to repotting

Use a small shovel or spoon to dig the Buddha lotus out of its original pot. Do not damage the roots and try to bring as much soil as possible.

Then immediately transplant it into the newly prepared pot.

After planting, water it and place it in a place where the sun is not strong, but make sure it is ventilated. Move it to a sunny place after a week.

Notes on repotting

Choose flower pots with holes at the bottom to aid drainage.

After repotting the Alocasia odora, water it appropriately and avoid getting it exposed to rain, otherwise the roots will easily rot.
