How to change Ivy pot - The Plant Aide

Many people don't know how to change ivy. In fact, it is not difficult. First, we choose the flower soil for it, and then pour it into the flower pot after the plant is taken out of the pot. Then prune the plants out of the basin, cut off the bad roots, and then plant them in the new flower soil, and finally compact the soil. After the operation is completed, we need to give it enough water to fully integrate the new soil with the root, so as to help it better adapt to the new environment.

1. Method of removing basin

The first thing we need to do is to take it out of the basin. We need to control the time. Generally, we need to carry out this operation when the soil is relatively dry, because at this time, its soil is contracted, it is easy to take it out of the basin, and the soil will not spread.

We need to use bamboo chips to remove the surrounding soil, and then cut off some old roots and some roots that are too long. If there are rotten roots, we should solve them. Cutting roots needs to be a little more neat, but the number of roots to be cut needs to be controlled well, not only a little root can be cut a lot. In the process of soil removal, we should pay attention to that some capillary root soil should be left behind, so that it will grow well after changing basin

2. Planting and bedding

Before transplanting, we need to put some fragments or plastic mesh on the bottom of the pot, so that its water and air permeability are better. If it's a large basin, we can put more, then spread coarse-grained soil, and finally move the tree in

In the process of moving, we need to put the soil we have prepared in first, then hold the plant by hand, put it in and adjust its position, and finally compact the soil. It's better not to leave a gap, otherwise the growth will be problematic later. Generally, the basins we use are the original ones, unless we can't put them in, we can change them into bigger ones

3. Make up water

After changing the basin, we need to make up the first excess of water, so that its roots and new soil will be better combined, and then we need to wait until it is dry to make up water.

When replenishing water, because the old root is damaged, but the new root has not yet grown out, so we can't pour too much, or the root will rot easily. In general, we can sprinkle some water on the leaves, so that it can have water and the roots will not be damaged.

4. The shallow basin should be covered with moss and the deep basin should be left with "water outlet"

If we use a shallow basin, we need to spread moss on it. If we use a deep basin, we don't need it like this, so that water won't lose water.

5. Make good use of cultivation soil.

Better soil fertility and air permeability should be satisfied. We can configure ourselves or buy them.
