Repot room tub in spring
Room firs do not grow very fast, so you do not have to repot them as often as other indoor plants. When is the best time to transplant the not very easy to clean room fir and what do you have to pay attention when repotting?
When is it time to repot the room fir?
Since a room fir is not so fast growing, it is enough to repot every two to three years.
She needs a new pot when the roots grow out of the pot at the bottom or top.
The best time to repot is the early spring after the winter, when you put the houseplant warmer again.
The right pot and suitable substrate
The new pot should have about two to three centimeters more diameter than the old one. Make sure that it has a large drain hole so that excess irrigation water can drain away. A coaster is more suitable than a planter, as you can see stagnant water here easier and pour out.
Room firs like a slightly acidic soil. Well suited is azalea earth, which you get at the hardware store. You can get the substrate out
also put together yourself. It is important that the soil is well permeable to water.
Do not plant too deep in the new pot
Be careful when repotting room firs so that neither the roots nor the branches break. Broken branches do not grow back, so the room fir gets an irregular growth and does not look so decorative anymore.
Do not put the room pan deeper into the fresh earth than it used to be. Otherwise there is a risk that the trunk will rot at the covered area.
After the repotting place the room fir so that it gets as little drafts as possible. Find a partially shaded spot and avoid the plant receiving direct sunlight.
Tips
Even if the room fir prefers a relatively high humidity - you do not get too wet substrate at all. When waterlogged, she lets her branches hang down and comes in after a very short time.
