This kind of flower grows very well in the wild, so many friends want to know if they can move it home. In fact, it is possible, and the operation is not difficult! The specific operation time is generally from November to April of the next year. First, we need to cut off the roots and branches for it, remove all the old parts of the disease, and then prepare its flower soil according to red soil: rotten leaf soil: Sandy Soil = 6:2:1. After that, put part of the flower soil into the basin, fix the plant to the center of the basin, and finally fill and compact the soil and pour sufficient water.

1. Transplantable or not?

The answer, of course, is yes. However, we need to pay attention to time and methods, which have a lot to do with the survival rate.

2. Time selection

In order to improve the success rate, we usually choose November to April.

3. Specific methods

(1) first of all, we have to cut the roots and branches. Before transplanting, the roots should be repaired. In other words, we have to cut off the diseased roots, the rotten roots and the aged roots. In addition, the root system was adjusted according to the size of the flowerpot. If the basin is large, the root system can be developed. If it's smaller, then the root system is less. This flexible adjustment. After repair, treat the wound with repair agent. Then prune. According to the plant shape, remove some branches and leaves, and deal with the cutting. In this way, evaporation can be effectively reduced.

(2) reconstitute the soil. You can choose to mix red soil, rotten leaf soil and sandy soil in a ratio of six to two to one. In addition, some farmyard manure and a small amount of pine leaves need to be mixed. Before use, it is best to disinfect it.

(3) put some farmyard manure at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then fill it slowly. After filling in part, fix the plant in the center position. After that, continue to fill in. After it is completely filled, it shall be compacted. Next, it's pouring water.

4. Post management

(1) shade: wrap the plants to reduce burns. At the same time, it can also play a role of shading. It's good to control the degree of shade at 70-80%.

(2) water content: because transplanting causes serious root injury, it's better not to apply fertilizer first, mainly focusing on water content. At the same time, pay attention to the moist degree of basin soil and air. Keep it moist, and keep it free of water.
