How To Repot A Plant Correctly So It'll Flourish
28.06.2023 - 09:00 / southernliving.com
Whether yourMonstera is creeping out of its container or yourpothos is looking sad and spindly, it’s probably time to repot! All you need is some new potting mix; a hand trowel; and a new pot. If you don’t want to end up with dirt under your nails, wear a pair ofnitrile garden gloves, which offer plenty of dexterity while still protecting your hands.
Here’s what else you need to know about how to repot your favorite plants:
How To Know When To Repot a PlantMost plants need repotted every few years, though there are many ways to tell if it’s time to repot: The roots are pushing out the top or bottom of the pot; the lower leaves are turning yellow; the plant is top-heavy and falling over; or the potting mix is drying out quickly. Lackluster growth may be another sign your plant needs a new home.
Ideally, you should repot when your plant is actively growing. Like your garden plants, that’s generally spring to late summer. But if it seems like your plant needs help now, don’t wait. It’s fine to repot anytime, if necessary.
Choosing a New PotWhen you're selecting a new pot, choose one slightly larger than the last. Maybe you think you should put your plant in a much larger planter so it has room to grow. But that creates a new problem: The plant won’t be able to absorb all the water in a container that’s too big for it, so it may drown. Typically, you should go up about 2 inches in pot size, or a maximum of 4 inches for larger floor plants.
Does the Pot Need Drainage Pebbles?Nope! This old-school recommendation was that if your pot didn’t have a hole, the addition of pot shards, pebbles, packing peanuts, or sand in the bottom would suffice. This idea has been circulating for decades, but it it’s just plain wrong.
