The optimal repotting period for pothos and money trees has arrived; wait any later and they won't make it through autumn

Repot a pothos and watch it shoot up vigorously!

Lately many friends have asked Huahua, why isn't my pothos growing? Your pothos hasn't been repotted since you brought it home, so of course it won't grow!

Specific repotting steps:

1. Grip the base of the pothos stem with your hand, turn the pot upside down, gently tap the rim and bottom of the pot, and take the pothos out of the pot.

2. If the pothos is too dense and the roots are tangled into a ball, separate the pothos along the stems first, then trim the roots with scissors, cutting off the rotten and old roots.

3. After trimming the pothos, to prevent root rot after repotting, it's best to soak it in a carbendazim solution for 30 minutes, then take it out and let it dry in a ventilated place.

4. The soil for replanting the pothos can be a mix of leaf mold, pine needles and perlite; this kind of soil is both breathable and rich in nutrients, able to meet the pothos's growth needs.

5. After potting, water thoroughly, place the pothos in a cool, ventilated place for about 1 week, then gradually move it to a spot with good light for care.

Repot a money tree and it won't rot roots for 10 years!

Huahua has a 3-year-old money tree at home. These past few days its leaves have turned yellow and it looks listless; when pulled out, it turned out the roots had rotted!

Specific repotting steps:

1. When taking the money tree out of its pot, first hold the base of the trunk and gently shake it; once the potting soil loosens, tip the pot on its side and pull out the money tree.

2. In summer, if watering is improper or the potting soil isn't breathable, the money tree's roots are very prone to black rot.

3. Prepare a sharp knife; after disinfecting it, scrape off the rotted parts of the money tree's roots, then soak them in a potassium permanganate solution for about 30 minutes, or apply some carbendazim powder to the cuts.

4. Black rot on a money tree means the previous soil already contained bacteria; when reusing it, you can put it in the microwave for a few minutes, or switch to new soil.

5. After repotting, don't water yet; keep it in a cool, ventilated place, and water thoroughly 3 days later.

Repot a clivia and flower buds will keep popping out nonstop!

As leaves increase and roots grow, clivia must be repotted at a certain stage. Otherwise it's like an adult who keeps wearing children's clothes, which is sure to be uncomfortable!

Specific repotting steps:

1. Before repotting clivia, stop watering for about 10 days (depending on pot size); this way repotting won't cause too much damage to the roots, and recovery afterward will be quicker.

2. After taking the clivia out of its pot, clear away the soil from the roots, then cut off the rotten roots and the useless hollow roots.

3. Place a few broken tiles over the drainage hole of the pot to prevent it from being blocked by potting soil when watering later. The new nutrient soil should be mainly leaf mold and pine needles; to increase breathability and drainage, you can add a small amount of coarse sand and charcoal residue.

4. When potting, first spread a layer of nutrient soil at the bottom of the pot, then turn the clivia upside down, fill the funnel-shaped center of the roots with nutrient soil, and hold the roots with your hand as you place it into the pot. This ensures the potting soil is as even as possible and doesn't damage the roots.

5. Hold the roots with one hand and fill in soil with the other; while filling, you can mix a few granules of compound fertilizer into the soil. After filling, press firmly around the edge of the pot, but don't press too hard near the stem base, then water thoroughly.
