Kumquat is usually replaced in three years or so, and the time is from March to April in spring. Choose a suitable flowerpot, a little bigger than the original one. The soil should be fertile, loose, well drained, and sterilized first. Don't water the pot for a few days before changing it. Take the kumquat out of the pot slowly, and cut off the roots in time. After the preparation, fill the soil, plant the kumquat into it, and do the later maintenance management.

I. basin change time

In general, kumquat needs to be replaced in three years or so to ensure that there is new soil to maintain growth and provide new nutrients. The time of basin changing is from March to April in spring. The climate is suitable for growth in this period, and there is no extreme weather, which is very beneficial to the recovery of Kumquat. The rest of the season can also be carried out, but the surrounding environment should be maintained.

II. Prepare basin soil

In order to maintain the later growth, it is necessary to select a proper flowerpot, which is a little larger than the original one, and the tile basin or pottery basin can be used. The soil quality should also be good. It needs fertile, loose and well drained soil, which should be rich in humus. Cake fertilizer should be added to the mixed soil as the base fertilizer. After mixing, it should be disinfected first, and it should not be directly planted and used.

III. take off the basin and repair the root

Do not water for a few days before changing pots to prevent loose soil mass. Take the kumquat out of the pot slowly, and do not damage the root system. However, the root system outside has withered, yellowed and aged, and needs to be cut off in time.

IV. upper basin planting

When ready, cover the bottom of the new flowerpot with tiles and fill it with soil. Then hold the tangerine and plant it inside, and fill the surrounding with soil. After the completion of the basin, pour the secondary water and place it in the shade.
