How to repot cyclamen and what to pay attention to when repotting

1. Repotting method

1. Cut off water and remove from the pot: If you want to repot the cyclamen, you should control the water in advance and let the soil dry. This will make it easier to remove from the pot and reduce damage. Pay attention to the time. It is best to choose around the Qingming Festival in spring when the climate is warm and suitable, which is conducive to later recovery.

2. Root pruning: After removing the plant from the pot, you need to trim the bulbs, and remove some old roots, rotten roots, and bad roots. This will allow the plant to better absorb water and nutrients in the later stage, which will promote more vigorous growth.

3. Prepare the potting soil: The soil should be loose and breathable. You can use nutrient soil mixed with an appropriate amount of river sand to prepare it, which can ensure sufficient nutrients and good drainage. The flower pot just needs to be slightly larger than the original one.

4. Planting in pots: When planting in pots, first put an appropriate amount of expanded clay at the bottom of the pot to increase drainage and air permeability. Then add an appropriate amount of soil and place the bulbs in. Be careful not to bury the soil too deep, leave one-third outside to avoid rotting.

2. Notes on changing pots

When repotting cyclamen, you should not only pay attention to the time and method, but also pay attention to the management after repotting. It likes a warm, ventilated and well-lit environment, but it cannot be exposed to light when it is just potted. Put it in a cool and ventilated place first, water it thoroughly, and wait for about a week. After a week, slowly expose it to the sun and apply fertilizer, so that it can resume growth better.
