Can you change the basin in summer?

It's best not to change its basin in summer.

Although it can change the pot from April to October after flowering, but because the summer temperature is higher, and it is still in the dormant period, it no longer grows, so if you change the pot at this time, it will hurt the root and let the root be killed slowly. This is the case without watering. If you water it again, it will affect the growth of the root, let the root rot, and seriously make it all rot.

Before changing pots, choose flowerpots according to its growth. Usually, mud pots, plastic pots and pottery pots are the best, but mud pots are the most suitable.

First, use the tool of loosening the soil to move it from the original pot to the current flowerpot, then reduce watering, otherwise it will affect its growth, and then when it grows new branches and leaves, we can gradually increase the amount of water. at the same time, we should also move it to a place with more light and ventilation.
