1. Frequency of repotting: The growth rate of agave is relatively slow, so it is not necessary to repot frequently during the maintenance period.If it is changed frequently, it will not only help the growth, but also lead to poor growth.
2. Selection of potting soil: pay attention to the prepared soil when repotting, and ensure that the soil is loose and breathable.It is suggested to use sandy soil with good drainage, which can be mixed with appropriate amount of river sand.If it is too sticky, it is prone to poor growth.In addition, the pot is larger than the original pot, which provides sufficient space for its later growth.
3. Root pruning treatment: When repotting it, it should be combined with root pruning.After taking off the pot, the old soil is removed, and the old roots, the rotten roots and the withered roots are cut off.After disinfection and drying, they are planted again, so that they can better absorb nutrients and water in the later period, which is beneficial to growth.
4. Maintenance after planting: The newly repotted plant is very weak and needs little water.In the initial stage, the amount of water should be reduced.Wait for it to resume growth and then slowly increase to avoid root rot.
It is recommended to choose spring as the repotting time, specifically around April.At this time, the temperature has risen and the plants begin to grow.Replacing pots can reduce injury, germination force is also strong, conducive to recovery.Attention must avoid summer and winter, summer is easy to change infected bacteria, winter is easy to change frostbite, are not conducive to taking pots.
