1. What kind of soil is good for repotting?

When repotting lucky bamboo, it is better to use loose, permeable and fertile soil. Such soil can ensure normal breathing of the roots and will not easily suffocate the roots. The nutrients are sufficient to meet the needs, and the growth will be more vigorous in the later stage. In addition, in terms of pH, it prefers slightly acidic soil, which is more in line with its growth habits. You can prepare the required nutrient soil yourself by mixing leaf mold, peat soil and river sand in a ratio of 3:6:1. Note that before putting the plants in the pots, they must be dried in the sun for disinfection or disinfected with disinfectant to prevent insect eggs or bacteria from forming inside.

2. Should we pay attention to the season when changing pots?

Of course, you should pay attention to the season when repotting it, and avoid summer and winter. Because the temperature in summer is too high, the plants are prone to dehydration and bacterial infection after being removed from the pots, which is not conducive to recovery and later growth. However, the temperature in winter is too low, and it is easy to get frostbite, making it difficult to acclimate. It is recommended to do it in spring. Not only is the environment suitable, but the plants also grow vigorously and have strong germination ability, which can reduce damage and help them acclimate faster.

3. How to change the pot

When repotting, be careful to remove the pot to minimize damage. After that, the roots need to be trimmed, some old roots, dead roots and rotten roots are cut off, and then they are dried before being planted in pots. When planting, allow the roots to spread out and lightly compact the soil. In the later stage, it is necessary to water it thoroughly in time and maintain it in a ventilated and dark place. Normal management can be resumed after recovery.
