巴西木 grows relatively fast and should be repotted every year. Various symptoms often appear during repotting. What's going on? It might be due to improper repotting methods. Today, the editor will introduce how to repot 巴西木.
One: Timing.
Early spring is the most suitable season for repotting 巴西木. If you need to repot, do it now. Whether to repot depends on whether the roots have filled the pot. If the roots are exposed, it's necessary to repot.
Two: Substrate.
巴西木 grows in sandy acidic soil. When repotting, it's necessary to use sandy soil and avoid clay soil. It's best to put a layer of coarse sand at the bottom of the pot because 巴西木 requires well-drained soil. One last point, when repotting, it's necessary to cut some leaves to prevent dehydration caused by root damage. After repotting, do not water too much within two weeks, just keep the soil moist.

Three: Potting Soil.
巴西木 is suitable for loose, well-drained, and fertile sandy loam soil rich in humus. For potted 巴西木, you can use a mixture of garden soil, decomposed leaf soil, peat soil, and river sand in a ratio of 3:2:2:3, or mix 2/3 dried and crushed fertile pond mud with 1/3 coarse river sand. For planting with thick stems, the potting soil can be made by mixing equal parts of vermiculite, peat soil, or garden soil with river sand. Most of the potted 巴西木 on the market are made of fine sandy soil, which is used by producers to allow the plant to root fully. Long-term use is not conducive to plant growth. To make the plant grow robustly, it's necessary to gradually add peat soil. Also, 巴西木 should be repotted every year.
Four: Details.
When repotting, replace 1/3 of the old soil with new sandy soil, trim the leaf stems and the lower part of the stem that has become old and withered. During growth, 巴西木 consumes some of its own nutrients. If fertilization is not done in time, it can lead to insufficient energy and gradual decline. During the growing season, apply organic fertilizer at the base or edges first, then apply liquid fertilizer every 15 to 20 days, or compound fertilizer 1 to 2 times, to ensure lush growth of branches and leaves. Fertilize with dilute fertilizer and avoid concentrated fertilizer. The fertilization period is from May to October every year. Stop fertilizing in winter and move the plant indoors to overwinter. For variegated varieties, reduce the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer to avoid excessive leaf growth and fading or disappearance of the variegation.
