Things to note when repotting Chlorophytum, what soil is best for repotting

1. Precautions for changing pots

1. Frequency of repotting: You don’t need to repot it too often. Unless there are signs of poor growth, repotting once every one or two years will be enough. Repotting too frequently can easily damage its root system and affect its growth. If the plant is young and grows fast, repot it once a year. If the plant is old and grows slowly, it only needs to be repotted once every two years.

2. Root pruning: When repotting, be sure to combine it with root pruning. You need to cut off the old roots, dead roots and rotten roots, leaving only the healthy roots. This will allow it to better absorb water and nutrients in the later stage, which is beneficial to its growth.

3. Careful maintenance: Pay attention to maintenance methods after repotting. Do not rush to expose the plant to the sun, nor water or fertilize it excessively, otherwise the plant will not adapt to the new environment and will be harmed. It should be placed in a place with diffused light and good ventilation. If the soil is slightly moist, there is no need to water it or apply fertilizer. It should be left in the pot for a week and then managed normally when it resumes growth.

2. Soil for repotting

Chlorophytum has strong adaptability and has almost no requirements for soil. However, if loose, well-drained and fertile soil can be used, it will grow more vigorously in the later stage. You can prepare your own nutrient soil by mixing it with leaf mold, garden soil, and fine sand, and then adding an appropriate amount of manure. This will help the plants resume growth faster and grow more vigorously.
