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.
