-
Check the need to repot
Roots filling the pot or deteriorated compost can justify repotting. Choose the time according to species, growth and flowering.
-
Prepare a suitable container
Choose a stable container with free drainage. Match the new root space to the root ball; avoid an excessively large pot.
-
Keep drainage holes open
Remove blockages. Mesh can retain compost without sealing the drainage holes. Empty any decorative outer pot after watering.
-
Release the root ball gently
Loosen the container and support the root ball. Remove only loose compost and clearly dead roots. Retain healthy roots and green plant parts.
-
Keep the existing planting depth
Add a little compost, insert the root ball and preserve its previous surface level. Do not bury the stem base or crown more deeply. Keep the swollen Cycas stem at its previous level.
-
Fill the spaces
Add compost around the root ball in small portions. Firm gently and close large air pockets without heavily compacting the mixture.
-
Water in and let it drain
Water slowly until excess runs from the base. Remove that excess. Afterwards check moisture in the old root ball and fresh compost separately.
-
Support establishment
After repotting, protect the plant from stress and observe its actual water needs. Account for the compost’s initial nutrients; add feed only when needed.
After planting
According to the label, review supplementary feeding after 4–6 weeks. Account for existing nutrients and root condition.
