To Repot or Not? 17 Houseplants Happy to be Rootbound
Some of the most popular houseplants, as well as some less common ones, live their best lives when allowed to grow somewhat rootbound between repottings.
Keeping these houseplants potbound can help them flower, reduce their risk of transplant shock, or keep unwanted growth in check. And you may be surprised at which houseplants fit this description!
In this article we’ll take a look at 17 houseplants that thrive in rootbound conditions in snug containers.

Perhaps you already have one of these in your home and are wondering whether you can delay your repotting chores. Maybe you started repotting and noticed that the specimen is already rootbound and are wondering if you’ve hurt it by letting it get to this state!
Or maybe you are looking to welcome a new leafy buddy to your household and want to pick one that won’t require frequent repotting.
I’ll provide you with a description of each houseplant in case any of these are new to you, each plant’s light and water requirements, and what to look for as a sign that it’s finally time to repot.
I know that when I am considering a new houseplant, the first thing I want to know is whether it’s safe for my cats – so I’ll let you know which of these are nontoxic in case you have nibbling pets or young children who are prone to sampling your indoor flora.
And in case you don’t already have one of these beauties living in your home, I’ll also provide tips on where to find them.

If you want your houseplants to look big and lush, pruning and regrowing them in the same pot is a smart idea! Plants like Pothos, Spider Plant, Philodendron, Snake Plant, ZZ Plant, English Ivy, Wandering Dude, Sedum, Herbs, String of Pearls, and String of Bananas can be easily grown from cuttings. Just cut a healthy stem or take baby plants, remove lower leaves, and plant them in the same pot as the parent plant for a fuller look. That's it.
Easyplant has released its list of plant trends for the new year, along with aesthetic styling tips to match every plant.
