Repackaging mimosa - When and how is repaping?

Mimosas are often grown as annuals, as they do not hibernate well. You do not have to repot annual mimosa. If you grow the plant perennial, you should transplant it as soon as the roots grow out of the pot.

When do you have to repot the mimosa?

It will take time to repot the mimosa when the roots grow out of the vent hole below. Even if the root ball completely fills the pot and penetrates the top of the pot, it is time to give the plant a new, slightly larger pot.

Ideally, you will replant the mimosa in the spring. But check regularly if the roots still have enough space in the planter.

Newly purchased mimosa should be repotted immediately after purchase. Often the pots are too small and the substrate too leached or too moist.

Do not choose too big pot

The roots of mimosa must be able to spread. A too big pot is not recommended. The leaves of the mimosa look much more decorative and also the plant blooms in a smaller pot more beautiful.

The planter must have a sufficiently large drainage hole to prevent waterlogging.

This is how you pot properly

Carefully remove the mimosa from the old pot. Shake off the old earth. See if the roots are still healthy. If necessary, you should cut rotten and sick roots before moving to a new pot.

Prepare a pot of fresh substrate and carefully insert the mimosa. Lightly press the soil and water the plant.

After repotting, you must not fertilize the mimosa at first. Put the pot in a bright, warm location. Avoid direct sunlight for the first time.

Which plant substrate is suitable?

As a plant substrate is simple compost or potting soil, which will loosen you with some sand or fine gravel.

Tips

After repotting, the leaves of the mimosa look for a while very torn and battered. That is normal. After some time they recover again.
