The succulent plant Purple Pearl is a very popular plant, not only because of its beautiful purple color, but also because it is easy to cultivate. However, when you need to transfer the purple pearl plant or replace the basin, you will find some difficulties. In this article, we will give you a detailed introduction to when the fleshy purple pearl needs to be replaced with the basin and how to replace it correctly.
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.
3. Tools needed to prepare pot replacement The tools for preparing pot replacement include new pots, potting soil, small shovels, water, fertilizer, gardening scissors and towels.
4. Prepare new pots and potted soil To prepare a new pot and potted soil, you can choose soil with good air permeability and drainage properties, such as mixed keel charcoal and perlite.
5. Take out the plant and gently pat or gently shake the flower pot to loosen the roots of the plant and animal. If the plant has roots that stick to the pot, carefully cut it with gardening scissors. Carefully remove plants and shake off excess soil.
6. Cleaning the old basin Thoroughly clean the old basin so that it can be reused.
7. Place soil in the new basin Put soil in the new basin and open a small hole in the center.
8. Place the plant in the new basin Put the plant in the new basin and make sure the roots of the plant are covered with soil.
9. Fill the basin Fill the plants with new potting soil and make sure every corner is filled. The basin can be gently tapped to ensure tight soil filling.
10. Watering After replacing the basin, you need to water the plants with an appropriate amount of water. If you find that the soil is too wet, you can use a towel to absorb excess water.
11. Regular fertilization Regular fertilization can help plants grow better. If you are using fertilizer granules, sprinkle them on the soil surface and gently mix well.
12. Light and fleshy plants require light to grow, but direct exposure to the sun can cause burns, so after replacing the basin, the plants should be placed in a semi-cool position.
13. Keep it moist and succulent plants need to be kept moist, but excessive watering can cause root rot. Soil moisture should be checked regularly and watering should be increased or reduced as needed.
14. Pay attention to the temperature. Succulent plants like a warm environment. The most suitable temperature range for growth is usually 18℃-25 ℃. After replacing the basin, ensure that the plants are in a warm environment.
15. Purple pearl plants need to replace the pots at the right time to ensure that they get enough nutrients and space. When replacing the basin, you need to prepare some necessary tools and materials, and also pay attention to environmental factors such as light, humidity, and temperature of the plant. Correct replacement of pots can allow plants to grow and reproduce better.
