As a common indoor plant, goldfish spider can not only purify the air, but also increase the aesthetics of the room. However, as time goes by, their growth rate will gradually slow down, and at this time, it is necessary to consider changing pots. When is the best time to change the basin? What are the precautions? Here is a detailed introduction for everyone.
selecting pots Before changing pots, you must first select a pot. Generally speaking, goldfish spider plants need a deep pot in order to grow better. At the same time, the bottom of the basin should also have drainage holes to avoid moisture accumulation and root rot.
Preparing soil Before changing pots, you also need to prepare the soil. In general, goldfish spider plants prefer loose and well-draining soil. You can mix garden soil, legular soil, sand, etc. in proportion, or you can directly purchase commercially available soil suitable for the growth of goldfish spider plants.
Appropriate time for
Generally speaking, the change time of goldfish spider plants should be in spring or autumn. At this time, the temperature is more suitable and will not affect the normal growth of the plant.
Preparations before basin replacement Before basin replacement, some preparations need to be carried out. First, all the soil in the old pot must be cleaned up, and then the root system should be appropriately trimmed to remove dead branches and pests and diseases to better promote plant growth.
Method of changing pots When changing pots, the soil from the new pot must first be poured into the old pot. Then place the plants in a new pot, fill in the side with new soil, and gently pat them solid. Pour on the right amount of water.
Precautions for watering During the week after changing the pot, the goldfish spider plant needs to maintain sufficient water. However, you should not over-water it to avoid causing root rot. Pay attention to the right amount when watering, and pay attention to whether the drainage holes are smooth.
Maintenance after changing pots During a period of time after changing pots, goldfish spider plants need to be properly maintained. For example, timely fertilization, pruning, etc. should be carried out during plant growth.
Observe the growth status of the plant During a period of time after changing pots, it is necessary to observe the growth status of the plant frequently. If it is found that the plant is growing poorly and the leaf color turns yellow, timely measures need to be taken to avoid plant death.
Suitable environmental conditions The suitable environmental temperature for the growth of goldfish spider is 18-25℃ and the relative humidity is 40-80%. During a period of time after changing the basin, special attention should also be paid to the indoor temperature and humidity.
Avoid direct sunlight Although goldfish spider plants like light, the sun in summer is very strong and can easily cause damage to the plants. Avoid direct sunlight in summer.

Timely pest control In the process of maintaining goldfish spider plants, timely pest control is also needed. For example, often check the leaves for pests and take corresponding control measures.
Avoid over-fertilization. Goldfish spider plants do not require too much fertilizer, otherwise it may easily lead to root rot. Fertilizing should be done in moderation and not too frequently.
Avoid sprouting. Goldfish spider plants are prone to sprouting for a period of time after changing pots. At this time, timely pruning is needed to keep the plants growing healthily.
Changing pots is an important part of the growth process of goldfish and spider plants. Attention should be paid to the selection of pots, preparation of soil, appropriate time, preparation before changing pots, etc. After changing pots, appropriate maintenance and management are also needed to promote healthy growth of the plants.
