Spring is the best time to repot houseplants and outdoor container plants. It gives them fresh
nutrients and space to grow as the light increases and growth takes off.
Signs Your Plant Needs Repotting:
● Roots growing out of the drainage hole
● Water running straight through the pot
● The plant seems top-heavy or unstable
● Growth has stalled
Simple Repotting Steps:
- Choose a pot 1–2 inches larger than the current one.
- Gently remove the plant, loosen the roots, and trim any dead ones.
- Place in the new pot with fresh potting mix.
- Water lightly and keep out of direct sun for a few days to recover.
Bonus Tip:
Don’t throw out old pots! Clean and save them for future plant babies or herb cuttings.
