There are many reasons for the rotten roots of Houttuynia cordata, if too much watering is caused, regular watering is needed, the amount of water should be controlled, and too much watering should promote drainage. If the fertilization is too thick, we should pay attention to rational fertilization, apply low concentration of fertilizer, too much fertilization to water dilution. If causes the infection plant diseases and insect pests, before the pot must to the soil disinfection, after morbidity prompt processing. If the soil quality is not right, it is necessary to replace the new soft soil.

1. Time for repotting

It is not necessary to change the pot during the cultivation of pitaya, but it needs to be changed at the beginning of planting, probably when the plant has not grown to 30 cm.The time for repotting can be selected in autumn, not in winter when the weather is too cold.And the temperature in summer is very high, at this time to avoid repotting, because once the root system is damaged, the hot and humid climate environment will make the root infected with bacteria, which may lead to death.

 

2. Precautions for basin changing

1. Careful operation: In the process of repotting, be careful to take off the pot, and clean up the soil slowly, so as not to damage its root system.If the root is injured, it needs to be disinfected before potting, so as to avoid infection and decay after planting.

2. Clean pot soil: New flowerpots and soil should be clean. It is recommended that you use carbendazim or potassium permanganate to disinfect before planting pitaya.If there are pathogens in the soil and the root system of the plant is damaged, it will be vulnerable to damage.

 

3. Slow seedling maintenance: After changing the pot, give it a few days to slow seedling. Put it in a cool place first, do not accept direct sunlight, and wait for it to adapt to the new pot soil before it can be slowly maintained normally.
