Methods/steps

Reasons for repotting

There are usually 2 reasons for repotting: flower pots Broken or old, the culture medium has no nutrients. Both the flowerpot and the substrate have a lifespan, and their lifespan is generally not as long as that of pothos. Normally, the culture medium will lose its fertilizer effect after 3 years. The aging of flower pots depends on the material. Except for ceramics, it generally does not exceed 3 years.

Timing of repotting

It is more appropriate to repot pothos during the dormant period. The best time is in early spring before the new buds sprout. According to the laws of our traditional agriculture, it is not appropriate to break ground after the Waking of Insects. Therefore, the best time window for pothos repotting is from the beginning of spring to the Jingzhe solar term. Of course, there is no need to be too rigid in actual operation. As long as the method is done correctly, repotting at other times will not be a big problem.

Preparation

After planning to change the pot, stop watering at least 1-2 days in advance to allow the substrate in the pot to separate from the pot wall. And have new pots and substrates ready. Here we strongly recommend Lvhang Pothos’ special culture medium, which is soil-free, sterile and odor-free, safe and hygienic and has long-lasting fertilizer effect.

Remove the soil

Take the pothos completely out of the pot and shovel away the soil. At the same time, check the root system of the pothos. If there are dead roots, rotten roots, or curled roots, try to cut them off. You can also cut off some of the old roots.

Change the substrate

Put the cleaned pothos into a new pot, and then add an appropriate amount of new special substrate for Lvhang Pothos. Make sure the substrate is well filled with roots and the upper part can be slightly lower than the edge of the pot. 6

Notes

After changing the environment, pothos will have a short adaptation period. At this time, you need to take extra care. Move the pothos to the most suitable light, temperature and humidity environment, and spray the leaves with water once every 1-2 days. After a while, the pothos moved to the new home will be full of vitality.
