If your houseplants are looking a little sad despite your careful watering, they might need to be repotted. Here’s our guide to the process, as well as the warning signs that you need to.
Most plants should be repotted every year to 18 months, depending on how fast they grow. Even if you don’t want to move your plant to a bigger pot, they will still need fresh soil, as they will eventually exhaust the nutrients in it. When you go to repot, you can move your plant to a larger pot, or if you don’t want it to get any bigger, you can put it back in the same pot with fresh soil. You may want to gently trim some of the roots by a few centimetres if replanting in the same pot to prevent the plant getting too large.
Once the plant is out of the pot, break up the soil around it a little and tease the roots out, releasing them from their pot-bound shape.
