Whether it is the seedlings that grow after sowing or those planted by the split method, the pots have to be changed when they grow up to one place. Generally, you have to change the basin for 2 years, and when you grow up, you will have to change the basin in these 2 years. This is because the original small pot of ① plant can no longer meet the needs of further extension of its roots. ② the nutrients in the original potted soil have been almost absorbed, and should be replaced with some nutrient-rich new soil to meet the needs of the plant to continue to grow. ③ takes this opportunity to check to see if there are any infected roots, and if so, cut off them in time to avoid spreading the infection. If there are too many fibrous roots, take this opportunity to cut off some of them appropriately.

The time to change the basin is spring (spring is usually before Grain Rain) and autumn, and the most suitable time is when the temperature is about 20 ℃ (note: not in flowering). The new basin for changing the basin should be larger than the original basin, so that the root system of the plant can be further extended, and some perphosphoric acid (or bone powder) and soil should be mixed evenly in the culture soil as base fertilizer. When changing the basin, first insert a knife into the soil along the inner wall of the basin for a week, so that the old basin soil is separated from the basin wall (easy to pour out). Then, with the palm of the right hand facing down, put the fork of the middle finger and ring finger into the root and stem of the plant, open and press the basin soil with five fingers; turn the basin over with the left hand, just hold the pot soil and flower seedlings on the palm of the hand (if the flower pot is heavy, two people are required to cooperate). Then peel off most of the basin soil. Leave a small part of the root soil, spray with water, and immediately plant in a new pot. When planting, the plant should be placed in the middle of the basin, so that the root can stretch freely in the basin, and part of the overlong root can be cut off, leaving part of the plate at the bottom of the basin. Then gradually add the soil and shake the basin body while adding, so that the cultivated soil can enrich the gap between the roots and come into full contact with the roots. Finally, raise the plant by 1cm, straighten the roots, shake the basin, gently press the soil surface, pour water once, and place the pot in the shade.
