Ideally, our houseplants grow well, but after a while their pots become too small, preventing the roots from developing properly. When this happens, they need repotting. It is best to repot in spring, so that the following season will provide ideal conditions for our plants.
- Do you need a bigger pot? Not necessarily – sometimes it’s enough just to change the potting compost.
- When do you need a larger tile?
- If the roots have grown all the way round the existing pot, they will be visible at the top or bottom.
- For large pots and planters, it may be sufficient simply to replace the top layer of potting compost.
- If the leaves turn yellow, flowering is poor, or there is little or no crop, we need to replace the potting compost.
- If the soil becomes compacted, the roots cannot grow properly, so the growing medium needs to be replaced.
- If the water runs off quickly when you’re watering, or if you notice that it stops, it’s worth considering replacing the soil,
- The right soil is loose, crumbly and dark in colour – if the soil in your flower pot is any different, you may need to replace it
Did you know?
- It’s a good idea to water your plant one hour before repotting it.
