Things to note when repotting gardenia

1. Pay attention to time

When repotting, you should pay attention to the choice of time. It is usually done in the spring after about 2-3 years of cultivation. Avoid doing it during the flowering period and rainy season, as it is very detrimental to the recovery and growth of the plant. Also try to avoid doing it in midsummer.

2. Pot soil selection

It is a plant suitable for growing in acidic soil, so when preparing the soil, you must be careful not to use alkaline soil, which is not conducive to its growth. The flowerpot should also be larger than the original old pot. If it is too small, it will also affect its growth.

3. Proper pruning

When repotting, you should also pay attention to proper pruning. After the plant is removed from the pot, you should first check its roots. If there are old or damaged roots, they should be cut off in time. In addition, do not shake off all the old soil when potting. Keep some of the old soil so that the plant can resume growth faster.

4. Pay attention after changing the pot

After potting it, do not put it in the sun immediately. Place it in a cool place first to allow it to recover. After about 5 days, place it in a place with scattered light, but be careful not to expose it to the sun.
