The plants of Tradescantia need to be transplanted when they are transferred to another pot or when they are Cuttage Propagation. In fact, the transplanting method is not difficult. The general process is to prepare the flowerpot, fill the soil, put it in the basin, and do a good job in the management and maintenance after transplanting.
When transplanting Tradescantia, suitable soil should be selected, including the ratio of vegetable garden soil and slag, garden soil, medium coarse river sand, sawdust, one of paddy soil, pond mud, rotten leaf soil, or the ratio of peat, perlite and ceramsite. One of them can be selected, and it should be prepared according to a certain ratio.
Before transplanting, a layer of coarse-grained matrix or ceramsite should be placed at the bottom of the pot as the filtering layer to make the soil permeable and improve the drainage of the soil. Spread a layer of rotten organic fertilizer on the top of the filter layer as the base fertilizer, and finally spread the substrate. Fill up the soil.
Then put the plant in the basin, dig a small hole in the middle of the soil, put the root in, pay attention to separate the fertilizer and the root system, and avoid burning the root. After the basin is finished, water it for a time, and then put it in the shade environment for maintenance.
First, control watering. After transplanting, we need to work hard on watering. Usually, we need to keep the pot soil moist, but not too wet, so as to avoid the root rot, but not too dry. Too dry will lead to less leaves, plants grow in vain, grow weaker, and leaves become smaller. In addition to attention to watering, also need to often spray water to the leaf.
Second, rational fertilization. There is a certain demand for fertilizer from Tradescantia. Only when there is a large amount of fertilizer, can it grow vigorously and have large leaves. Therefore, liquid fertilizer should be applied frequently.
