Soil replacement is one of the methods to renew nutrients to plants and expel accumulated salt and impurities. For dragon beard, correct soil change can better provide nutrients and promote its growth and development. At the same time, it can also avoid the breeding of pests and diseases and the occurrence of diseases such as root rot.
Time to replace soil with dragon beard 1. Spring and autumn are the best times to replace soil. At this time, the temperature is suitable, the plants grow vigorously, making it easier to adapt to the new soil environment.
2. If soil replacement is carried out in summer, you should avoid the hot weather, preferably in the morning or evening.
3. Be cautious when changing soil in winter, because dragon whiskers grow slowly and are easily damaged. Soil replacement is needed only when the soil becomes dense or symptoms of root rot appear.
Preparations before soil replacement 1. Prepare new soil in advance. Dragon beard is suitable for using nutritious soil with high humus content and good drainage.
2. Clean the basin and interlayer, and use clean water to remove dirt and bacteria.
3. Soak the dragon's whiskers in warm water, clean the roots, and remove the aging and withered roots.

3. After changing the soil, do not move the basin easily to avoid causing damage to the dragon beard.
4. Dragon whiskers should not use too many artificial insulation measures to avoid abnormal plant growth or death.
Frequency of soil replacement 1. Generally speaking, dragon beard needs to be replaced once a year. However, if the growth conditions are good, the soil change time can also be appropriately extended.
2. If the soil in the basin becomes very hard and dense, it means that new soil needs to be replaced.
How to judge whether soil replacement is needed 1. Observe the growth of dragon whiskers. If the growth is slow and the branches and leaves are yellow, it means that new soil needs to be replaced.
2. If the root system begins to yellow and rotten roots appear, it means that new soil needs to be replaced.
