After half a year of cultivation, yew can be repotted at any time of the year; for plants that have been growing for half a year, it is best to repot them in early spring or early winter. Before repotting, choose a flower pot of appropriate size and loose and breathable culture soil; be careful when repotting so as not to damage the root mass of the plant; and maintain it carefully in the later period to ensure sufficient water and fertilizer, and there will basically be no problem. Let me introduce to you some management that needs to be done when repotting yew trees.
1. Repotting time
Yews that have grown for more than half a year can be repotted all year round. The best time for repotting is early spring; yews that have grown for less than half a year can be repotted. , it is necessary to repot the yew plants in the two time periods of January to April or November to December. At this time, the climate is suitable, which is more conducive to the growth of the yew plants after repotting.
2. Depotting and root pruning
The root system of yew is very developed, and the fibrous roots will stick firmly to the pot wall. Stop watering for 2-3 days before depotting, and wait for the soil to After drying, gently tap around the flower pot to encourage the fibrous roots to fall off the pot wall, and then slowly detach the yew from the flower pot. Pay attention to removing the old soil around the roots, while ensuring that the soil balls at the roots are not loose, and then cut off the old and rotten roots of the yew.
3. Prepare pot soil
Yew likes loose and breathable soil. It is recommended to mix perlite, peat and sand in a ratio of 3:2:1 as culture soil. .
4. Potting
Choose a flowerpot of appropriate size, place a tile on the bottom of the pot, and then spread a layer of prepared culture soil. Place the yew plant in the pot, continue to fill the pot with culture soil, and compact it slightly.
5. Later maintenance
After the repotting is completed, water the yew thoroughly and place it in a shaded place to slow down the seedlings for 7-10 days, after which it can be maintained normally. It is not advisable to overwater in normal times. In summer, you can water once a day; fertilize once every 15-20 days, and use thin nitrogen fertilizer water.
