Repotting is a vital part of plant care that encourages healthy growth and revitalizes your green friends. Follow our straightforward steps to give your plants the fresh start they need without the stress.
1
Signs it's time to repot include roots peeking out of drainage holes, slow growth, or water running straight through the pot.
2
Select a new pot 2-3 inches larger in diameter than the current one to give your plant room to grow.
3
Ensure your new pot has drainage holes. If not, add a layer of pebbles to aid water flow.
4
Use a fresh, well-draining potting mix suited to your plant’s specific needs for optimal health.
5
Carefully take the plant out of its current pot, loosening the soil around the edges if needed.
6
Trim any dead or excessively long roots to encourage healthy new growth.
7
Place a base layer of new soil in the pot, ready to support the plant’s roots.
8
Set the plant in the center of the new pot, ensuring it sits at the same depth as in its previous pot.
9
Add soil around the plant, gently tapping down to remove air pockets without compacting the soil.
10
After repotting, water the plant well to help settle the soil and hydrate the roots.
