How to repot a fiddle-leaf fig and how to acclimate after repotting

1. How to change the pot

1. Time: It is recommended to repot it in spring or autumn when the climate and temperature will be more suitable, which can help the plant acclimate faster. Usually you need to repot it every two or three years so that it can grow better in the later stage.

2. Potting soil: The soil should be acidic, loose and fertile. You can mix peat soil, sandy soil and garden soil. After preparation, make sure to disinfect it before use. In addition, the flower pots should be made of materials with good drainage, such as purple clay pots or ceramic pots.

3. Pruning: Prune before repotting. Cut off the yellow and overly dense leaves to reduce nutrient consumption and promote better ventilation and light transmission. In addition, after removing the plant from the pot, you need to trim off the old roots, dead roots, and rotten roots, and then disinfect the root system after processing it.

4. Potting: After the treatment, you can change the pot and plant the plant in the new potting soil. Pay attention to compacting the soil around the roots to avoid tilting.

2. How to adapt to the basin

After changing the potting soil, place the plant in a semi-shaded place for maintenance. Don't rush to expose it to the sun as it is very weak at this time and can be easily sunburned. The soil only needs to be slightly moist, and don't water it too much. Keep the environment ventilated and warm at ordinary times, so that the plants can adapt to the pot faster and resume growth. Resume normal management after recovery.
