How to change the basin and transplant the white palm

1. Time to change the basin

White palms grow faster, so they have to be changed once a year or two. When the branches and leaves of the plant are too dense, and the ratio of the plant to the pot is three to one, it is time to change. The best time is in spring, specifically from March to May. However, if the plant grows too fast, it can also be changed in autumn. When changing the basin, it can be carried out in combination with pruning. Between two basin changes, the soil can be loosened from time to time.

2. Specific steps

(1) Depot: take the plant out of the basin, clean up the old soil from the root, and then rinse the root with clean water. After that, cut off the aging and rotten roots.

(2) planting: put the plant in the planting basket and fix it. If you want hydroponic culture later, you can add some pebbles to the hydroponic container (if the container is a thin bottle, then fix it directly with pebbles, but do not need a planting basket), and then put the plant into. For example, after soil cultivation, you need to prepare loose new soil and a larger basin suitable for the current volume of the plant, put part of the original soil mass in the center, put the plant in, fill it with new soil, and then pour water thoroughly until excess water flows out from the bottom of the basin.

3. Points for attention

(1) pay attention to the weather when changing basins, preferably on cloudy days. However, sunny days are fine without harming the roots.

(2) if it is soil culture, then the new pot had better be larger than the original one, because the plant will grow later and enough space must be provided.
