Repainting Schefflera - necessary from time to time
With a growth rate of up to 30 cm per year, the ray artery can be described as fast-growing. If she puts down such a speed, she needs a lot of space and not just on the surface, but also in her pot. How to properly plant this houseplant and when?
Repot - from spring to summer
After the winter, the ideal time for repotting this houseplant has come. Start the procedure in early spring (from February) and until summer (May / June) at the latest! It is best to repot the Schefflera before showing off its new shoot.
How do you know if the Schefflera should be repotted?
Not every Schefflera needs to be repotted. Repotting depends on growth. This in turn depends among other things on the location, the nutrient content of the substrate and the age of the plant. Even a Schefflera, which is pulled as bonsai in a shell, must be repotted now and then.
If one or more of the following applies, then it's time to repot:
Repotting procedure
Time to take action! Gently remove your radar artery from the pot and take care not to injure the shoots! Now the old earth is being shaken off. If this is difficult, you can also crumble it off with your hands. Since now the view on the roots should be free, dead roots can be cut off.
The next step is to prepare a pot that is slightly larger than the old pot, with fresh soil. At the bottom, a drainage is created, so that residual irrigation water can drain off quickly. For example, pebbles or expanded clay are suitable for drainage. There the root ball of the Schefflera is put into it. Above, the bale is covered with humus rich soil! Then: press and pour on.
Tips
Immediately after repotting you can cut back the Schefflera.
