How to change the pot of the houseflower

1. Remove the plant

For the Japanese gentian, the flowerpot needs to be changed every two years, and new soil needs to be replaced during this process. It can promote the extension and growth of the root system and provide enough space to ensure its later growth. Before repotting, take the plant out of the pot, being careful not to damage the roots. First, use a small shovel to circle around the flowerpot to make it easier to take the plant out. Hold the flowerpot with one hand and take the plant out with the other hand.

2. Pruning the root system

After 1-2 years of growth, many old and rotten roots may appear underneath. At this time, they need to be pruned and these lifeless roots need to be cut off and removed. This will also be beneficial for later growth after planting. For healthy roots, be careful not to damage them.

3. Prepare new soil

As for flower pots, you can prepare a new and larger one, which can also ensure good growth in the later stage. For the new soil, it is necessary to ensure good air permeability and nutrition. You can mix coarse sand and leaf mold evenly together and add some bone meal.

4. Replanting

After preparing a new flowerpot and soil, straighten the silkworm and plant it in the flowerpot, fill the edges with soil, gently press the soil firmly, and water it thoroughly.
