1、 Loosen soil and remove Basin

The newly bought Herba Coptidis is generally replaced with new pots and new soil, which can avoid the impact of bacteria and insect eggs in the original soil on plant growth. The first step to change the pot is to take off the pot, loosen the soil along the inner wall of the pot, separate the pot from the soil, and then take out the plants from it. Be careful not to hurt its root when taking off the basin

2、 Root washing and pruning

After taking out the Pennisetum from the flower pot, you need to wash its roots, so that you can wash all the soil from the roots. Put the plant in clean water, wash the soil adhering to the root along the lower part of the stem, and then check to see if the root is rotten and necrotic. If there are rotten or dead roots, they need to be trimmed in time with sterilized scissors

3、 Basin soil preparation

Before preparing to put it into the pot, it is necessary to prepare the soil suitable for its growth. Generally, it is mixed with rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river mud, and the ratio of the three is 5:2:2. This can provide certain nutrients, but also ensure that the soil has a certain permeability, so that the roots can breathe well. In addition, you can add a little base fertilizer to the basin bottom

4、 Upper pot planting

Put the Pennisetum upright into a new basin, fill it with the prepared soil, and gently compact it after filling to ensure that the plant will not fall down. After that, put it in a cool place to avoid sunlight. Water it often to keep the substrate moist, which is conducive to its growth. After taking pots, you can apply fertilizer appropriately to accelerate the development of stems and leaves

5、 What about wilting

The wilting after changing pots may be due to the discomfort of temperature or light. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight. If the temperature is too low, keep it warm to avoid frostbite, which will recover soon
