1. Why do you need to replace the basin When the fleshy purple pearl cannot get enough nutrients and space in the original basin, you need to consider replacing the basin. If you find that the drainage of the basin is not good enough, it will cause the roots to rot. At the same time, if the plants have been growing in the original basin for a long time, their roots may have become entangled, and replacing the basin allows them to better expand their roots.

2. The best replacement time The best replacement time is in spring or autumn, when plants begin to grow actively after their dormant period ends. The best time to replace the pot of potted purple pearls is in spring.
