As we step into the growing season, now is the perfect time to give your houseplants a fresh start with repotting. Over time, plants outgrow their pots, deplete soil nutrients, and may become root-bound, which can hinder healthy growth. Repotting helps refresh the soil, provides more space for roots, and ensures your plants stay happy and thriving.
Signs That Your Houseplant Needs Repotting
Roots are growing through the drainage holes or circling the surface of the soil.
Water drains too quickly, indicating compacted soil.
Growth has slowed despite good care.
The plant becomes top-heavy and unstable.
How to Repot your Houseplants Successfully
Choose the Right Pot – Pick a new pot that’s about 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one, with good drainage.
Use Fresh, High-Quality Compost – Select a soil mix suited to your plant’s needs for optimal growth.
Gently Remove the Plant – Loosen the roots carefully, especially if they are tightly bound.
Position and Fill – Place the plant in the new pot, add fresh compost around the roots, and gently firm it in place.
Water and Settle – Water thoroughly to help the soil settle and eliminate air pockets.
