As soon as autumn arrives, many flower lovers ask Huahua, why is it that my flowers not only fail to grow, but also have yellowing and falling leaves? Then Huahua can't help but ask you one thing: have you repotted them? If the flowers at home haven't been repotted for a long time, the soil becomes severely compacted, water can't get in, fertilizer can't get in, and over time the leaves naturally turn yellow!

Repot a pothos, and it will scramble and climb into a growing waterfall!

If your pothos has been grown for 1-2 years and still hasn't grown, and has gradually started showing yellow leaves, then it definitely needs repotting! Take advantage of the current 25°C temperature, it's just the right time to repot!

How to repot?

1. Turn the pothos whose roots have filled the pot upside down, hold the pothos with one hand, and gently pat the flower pot with the other hand, and you can take the whole pothos out directly.

2. Clean the soil off the roots. For those roots tangled together, you can first roughly separate them by hand, then prune off those overly long old roots and weak roots.

3. To prevent bacterial infection after potting, you can soak the pothos with trimmed roots in a carbendazim solution for more than half an hour, then take it out and let the wounds dry.

4. If you want the pothos to grow well, the soil must be loose and breathable. You can choose leaf mold, perlite and coconut coir, mix them in a 3:2:1 ratio, then pot the pothos and water it thoroughly once.

5. Put the pothos in a cool, ventilated place to recover its roots for 1 week, then place it in a spot with good scattered light. Just wait for the pothos to grow like crazy!

Repot a money tree, and it won't rot its roots even after 20 years of growing!

Why does the money tree at home so easily get yellow leaves and root rot? It must be that the potting soil isn't breathable! Hurry and take advantage of the cool weather now to repot the money tree at home!

How to repot a money tree?

1. If the potting soil isn't breathable for a long time, the money tree will get root rot. First take the whole money tree out of the pot, then use a sterilized knife to cut off the rotted roots.

2. Soak the entire root system of the money tree in a carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution to disinfect, soaking for about 1 day is enough, then take it out and let the wounds dry.

3. To avoid root rot in the money tree, the potting soil must be a loose, breathable nutrient soil. You can mix leaf mold and perlite in a 3:1 ratio. Of course, you must put tile shards or clay pebbles in the pot to increase water drainage and breathability.

4. After potting, first put the money tree in a cool, ventilated place to recover its roots for 1 week, then place it in a spot with good scattered light. The money tree has shallow roots and fears waterlogging and root rot the most. Normally don't water too much. Poke a small wooden stick 3-5cm into the soil, and if you pull it out and find the stick is dry, you can water it.

Repot a clivia, and it will surely bloom in autumn and winter!

Autumn and winter have come around again to the time when clivia blooms. If your clivia still hasn't grown by now, it may be because its roots have filled the pot, and you must repot it quickly!

How to repot a clivia?

1. Take the clivia out of its original pot. Note that when taking the clivia out of the pot, hold the clivia with one hand and turn the flower pot upside down, and you can easily take the clivia out.

2. Clean the soil off the clivia's roots. Be careful not to damage the roots when cleaning the soil, then rinse slightly with clean water, so you can quickly tell which roots are rotted and which are hollow.

3. When you see hollow and rotted roots on the root system, cut them off with sterilized scissors, then apply some carbendazim powder or plant ash to the wounds.

4. Prepare loose, breathable nutrient soil. You can mix 5 parts leaf mold + 1 part pine needle soil. To give the clivia sufficient nutrients, you can grab a handful of roasted sunflower seeds or peanuts and sprinkle them into the potting soil. Note that they must be plain-flavored.

5. Because the clivia's roots are bare, don't just throw it into the pot and fill with soil, otherwise the middle of the root system will be left empty. So first hold a fistful of soil and stuff it under the bottom of the clivia's roots, wrap the roots, and then put it into the flower pot. Fix the clivia centered on the pseudobulb, then fill with soil and press it firm.

6. After potting, water thoroughly once, until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Clivia has fleshy roots. Normally when watering, better dry than wet, and you won't have to fear root rot and death!

Repot an asparagus fern, and it will zip up to the roof!

If your asparagus fern keeps having yellow leaves, and some have even turned yellow all over, besides watering too little, the main reason may be that your asparagus fern needs repotting!

How to repot an asparagus fern?

1. Generally, asparagus ferns that need repotting have grown for more than 2-3 years, with roots filling the entire flower pot, and the roots may even have drilled out of the flower pot. At this point, take the asparagus fern completely out of the pot.

2. Gently pat the roots with your hand to clean the soil off the asparagus fern's roots. Be careful and don't damage the roots. Then rinse the roots with clean water, and when you see those old roots and weak roots, cut them off directly. You can also divide the plant at this time. Find the nodes where the asparagus fern has branched, and gently break them apart.

3. For the soil prepared for potting, you can choose to mix 3 parts leaf mold with 2 parts river sand. Place a few tile shards at the bottom of the pot, and also add a handful of slow-release fertilizer into the pot, then repot the asparagus fern.

4. Put the asparagus fern in a well-ventilated indoor spot, spray water on the leaves often, and normally make sure it gets enough scattered light. The asparagus fern will quickly grow like crazy, and climbing onto the wall is no problem at all!

Repot a snake plant, and it will poke through the roof in no time!

The snake plant counts as a flower that very easily has its roots fill the pot. Huahua still remembers previously growing a snake plant in a plastic pot, and as a result there were so many roots that they directly burst the flower pot!

How to repot a snake plant?

1. Before repotting a snake plant, it's best to withhold water for a few days to let the potting soil dry out. Then use chopsticks to poke a few times along the edge of the flower pot to loosen the soil, so it can be easily taken out of the pot.

2. Remove the soil from the snake plant's roots. If you have a large flower pot at home, you don't need to divide the plant. If your flower pot isn't big enough, then directly divide the snake plant. Note that each divided snake plant must have roots, so it's easier for them to grow.

3. To prevent root rot in the snake plant, it's best to place 2-3cm thick crushed brick pieces at the bottom of the pot, then add nutrient soil. If you want the snake plant to grow vigorously, you can also add some cooked, fermented soybeans and eggshells at the bottom of the pot.

4. Repot the snake plant, then water thoroughly once, and after that just put it in a cool, ventilated place! Later, as long as you make sure there's no waterlogging in the pot, the snake plant can grow like crazy, and poking through the roof is no problem at all!

Repot a kalanchoe, and flower buds will pop out like crazy in autumn and winter!

Many flower lovers worry every day, why hasn't my kalanchoe grown yet, and when exactly will it bloom? Huahua thinks that if your kalanchoe has been bought for several years without repotting, then it definitely won't easily grow or bloom!

How to repot a kalanchoe?

1. Take the kalanchoe out of its original pot, then slightly loosen the soil around the roots. It's best to keep a clump of the original soil and not remove it all.

2. Prepare a new flower pot, place loose, breathable clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot, then add new nutrient soil.

3. Put the kalanchoe with its soil clump directly into the new flower pot, then fill with soil and lightly press the soil firm.

4. After potting, water thoroughly once. When watering, you can mix a little trace-element fertilizer into the water, then place it in a cool, ventilated place for care, and afterward put it in a spot with good light. Soon the kalanchoe will sprout new buds and bloom!
