Precautions for transplanting tiger lily

1. Time for potting

Sansevieria is usually repotted in winter or early spring. This is its dormant period, and repotting will cause less damage and is more conducive to its survival. It is not advisable to repot after germination in spring, as this is its growing period. Repotting will cause nutrient loss and poor growth.

2. Pot soil preparation

Tiger Piranha grows well in loose and fertile sandy soil. The new soil must have good drainage and air permeability. It can be mixed with humus soil and sand in a ratio of 3:2. This will not only provide certain nutrients but also allow water to penetrate quickly.

3. Repotting

Stop watering one week before repotting to allow the soil to dry out and make it easier to remove the plant from the pot. After removing the plant from the pot, remove some of the old soil, trim the old and rotten roots, and then spray with carbendazim for disinfection. Place broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot, place the plant upright in it, and fill in the soil and compact it.

4. Follow-up Care

After planting a pot, it should not be exposed to the sun immediately, nor should it be watered. At this time, the plant needs to adapt to the new environment. It can be placed in semi-shade and receive scattered light. It will take about a week for the plant to acclimate to the pot, and then you can water the pot and increase the light.
