When do you make the strelitzia?
As a rule, it is necessary to repot a strelitzia every 3 years. More frequent repotting should be avoided. Older specimens can also be repotted less often because they do not grow so fast. The best time comes in the spring after the winter or in the summer after flowering.
Attention: The roots are extremely fragile!
Radical and rough you should not proceed here. The roots of Strelizie are considered extremely sensitive. The fleshy roots break easily. If they are injured, it may happen that the flowers do not appear.
Get out of the pot and shake off the old earth
First, the plant is carefully dissolved with the root ball from the old pot. Shake off the old earth. Now would have been a good time to share the perennial if you want to multiply.
Find the pase substrate or mix it yourself
If a tall bucket is ready, it can go to filling up with soil. But which earth is suitable? You can use conventional potting soil or potting soil. Alternatively, you can mix the substrate yourself, for example, from compost, sand or fine-grained lava and kokohum. Importantly, it is permeable and pH less than 7.
What should be considered after that?
After repotting, you must not fertilize the plant. The casting is crucial in the aftermath, however, so that the Strelitzie can grow. It should not be cut, because it puts the addition under stress.
Tips
In the years between repotting, the topmost layer of earth can be replaced.
