Signs it's time to repot your plant

If you’ve had your plant for 1-2 years now, it’s a good time to consider repotting. Typically we recommend repotting as a way to refresh soil, or to encourage growing to a larger size. Here are signs your plant may be ready to move to the next size up.

  • Matted roots circling on the soil surface
  • Roots exiting through drainage holes
  • Roots are seemingly “busting” at the seams
  • The plant seems to be getting pushed out of its pot
  • You notice yellow leaves developing more frequently than normal
  • The plant dries out very quickly, in just a few days instead of at least a week
  • Growth has slowed or stopped overall

If you find that it's time to repot your plant, here are items to gather:

  • A nursery pot with drainage holes that's 2” larger than the current pot
  • A ceramic that fits the larger nursery pot
  • Fresh soil, just enough to fill the new container
  • Tarp or paper to protect your floors
  • Gloves, spade, new decorative moss (optional)

Once you have your materials ready, here are step-by-step instructions for repotting your plant.
