There are some practices for you to follow in this period. • Spring cut. It consists of chopping from the insertion point the small branches or springs of which position or vigor you don’t like. This is a procedure for shrub plants as Hibiscus, Ficus, Dracaena, Codiaeum, Yucca etc. • Propagation. It’s good to propagate the plant at the beginning of the vegetation period. According to the species, the propagation is made by sprigs (Earring, Geranium), by stem (Yucca, Philodendron, Colocasia), by leaves (African violet, Begonia, Sansevieria) or by cuttings (Hortensia, Ficus). • Changing the soil above. It’s a must to do that, because the plant needs some fresh and reach soil to start a new vegetation period. Using a shovel, avert the existing soil for 2-6 cm in deep, saving the roots well then add the new soil. • Pinching the sprig. It will last the blooming, but the plant grows well and healthy. • Transplantation. It has to be done in spring, if not in March, April is the last month, because it’s good to happen before the vegetation period. According to the age of the plant, you have to transplant it once in 2 years, for the young plants and once in 4-6 years, for the full-grown ones. If you use a new clay pot, leave it in water for a half hour and, if it’s an old pot, clean it well. So gag the base of the clay pot with a crock from an old pot then add a 2-4 cm coating of sand, which will help the drainage. There comes a little soil - our advice is to give your plant the type of soil that it needs - and then put the plant and fill the pot with soil, covering well the roots.
