When to repot?
We're constantly being asked "When is it time to repot a plant?" So today we thought we'd share some tips to help identify some of the signs of a plant that is ready for repotting.
🌱If your plant is causing its nursery pot to warp from the new growth, it's likely ready for a larger pot.
🌱Have a look under your pot. If there are roots growing out of the drainage holes, your plant might benefit from a larger pot.
🌱Gently lift your pot from its pot. If your plant's root system has taken over the entire pot and consumed all of the soil.. it's 100% ready for a larger pot.
🌱When choosing a new pot, we like to give at least 3cm - 5cm of room on the sides and a couple below to allow for more roots. We always run our plant's roots under water to remove as much of the old soil as possible, and to loosen them up before we replant them.
🌱Fill your larger pot about half way up with your mix. Place your plant inside ensuring there are no gaps between your plants roots and the soil. Fill in the edges with your mix. Make sure you don't compact the soil too much.
🌱Place your newly repotted plant in a decorative planter. We always use a plastic pot inside our decorative planters. This will allow for excess water to drain away from your plants roots. Remember, drainage is SO important for your indoor plants.
