These 3 green plants need their soil changed in late autumn for a worry-free winter and vigorous growth next year

It's late autumn, and the weather is still relatively cool. The vitality of many green plants is steadily declining, so this is the time to check their root systems, especially for these 3 green plants. For those whose roots have already filled the pot, you need to change the soil promptly so they can get through winter with ease and grow like crazy next year!

1. Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Soil-grown golden pothos has a relatively well-developed root system and renews quickly, so in late autumn you should repot and trim the roots promptly.

Two days before repotting, withhold water so the potting soil becomes dry, which makes it easier to remove the plant from the pot. After removing it, separate the roots from the soil, then trim off all the rotting, dried-out and other roots, rinse them clean with water, disinfect with potassium permanganate, and once dried, it can be repotted.

2. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

Clivia has fleshy roots, so you need to be careful when removing it from the pot and not pull on them. Therefore, withhold water for a week in advance. After taking the clivia plant out, gently shake off the soil, then cut off the rotting, aged and thin weak roots, rinse clean with water, then soak in a carbendazim solution for about half an hour, and then place in a shady spot to dry.

Clivia likes oily fertilizers. When repotting clivia, you can spread a thin layer of oily material at the bottom of the pot, such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, etc., which can further help the clivia grow and bloom.

3. Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

The spider plant's root system is relatively thick and sturdy, and some fine roots will even cling to the pot wall. You can withhold water 1-2 days before removing it from the pot. When the soil is moist but not wet, use a small trowel to pry around the edge of the pot and slowly take the spider plant out.

For a spider plant with a well-developed root system, after removing it from the pot, first gently shake off some of the soil, then use your hands to loosen it so the whole plant becomes loose and airy, increasing aeration. If the plant is too large, you can simply pull it apart and divide it into several plants. After a simple root trim, place it in a shady spot to dry and it can be replanted.

That's all for the soil changing of these 3 green plants. If you gardeners have other tips to add, feel free to share them with everyone in the comments section below. If you want to learn more about plant care, you can follow Huajianke!
