Houseplant Repotting

Does it need new pot to match your décor?

Houseplant Repotting or Up-potting a plant

Do the process when plant is actively growing.

If the pot is full of roots

If you notice an accumulation of salt residue on the pot rim

When up-potting, or moving your plant to a large container

If you are moving a plant from 4 inch port, move up to 6 inch pot. Moving a plant to a much larger pot can create problems.

If your plant starts to dry down, it may topple over because the plant is heavier than the pot, choose a heavier container such as one made of clay or ceramic, which will better support your plant.

Tips For Houseplant Repotting

If water sit on the top and take excessive time to run out of the drainage hole, the medium become compacted not leaving enough air spaces for the water to runout. Move your plant to a large container with fresh medium.

Before repotting, make sure your plant is well hydrated. A moist rootball is less likely to breakover.

Large plants can become impossible to repot. If the roots are becoming visible, simply add fresh medium to the top of the container.

The medium should cover the roots only not the stem of the plant.
