Root pruning tips
1. Choice of season
We must choose to prune roots in the two seasons of spring and autumn. Do not prune roots in winter and summer. Unsuitable weather can easily cause the plant to die. The process of root pruning is originally a time when the plant's life is relatively fragile, so the choice of season is also extremely important.
2. Prune the old roots first. Our first step is to cut off the excess old roots. Those old roots are useless. They can no longer serve the function of absorbing water and nutrients, so you must cut them off.
3. Then cut off the rotten roots. Useless roots also need to be removed.
4. After pruning is completed, be sure to remember to disinfect. If you do not disinfect, the plant will be disturbed by viruses.
Precautions
When pruning roots, use your hands as much as possible and try not to use scissors. This can speed up the healing of the plant's wounds.
Repotting method
After root pruning comes the repotting work. This can ensure that the soil is loose and the plant can breathe better, thereby ensuring better growth and development of the plant. Like root pruning, we cannot repot in summer and winter. We should try to choose the two seasons of spring and autumn to ensure the success of repotting.
Precautions
We must do the repotting work well. Only regular repotting can ensure the normal growth of the plant and the normal breathing of the plant in the soil. We must repot at specific times, and the best frequency is once a year or three times every two years.
