If you want your indoor plants to thrive and grow healthy, you need to make sure they are properly potted. Repotting your indoor plants is similar to changing their homes. Plants that outgrow their pots get rootbound, which means their roots are entangled and compacted. Repotting helps the plant by giving the roots more space to grow and absorb water and nutrients effectively.

Here are the steps in repotting indoor plants:

  • Select a new pot that is a about 2-4 inches bigger than the current one, with drainage holes.
  • Remove the plant gently from its current pot by tapping the sides and loosening the soil around it.
  • Untangle the roots, remove any dead or diseased parts, and trim excessively long roots.
  • Fill the new pot with potting soil and create a shallow hole in the center.
  • Place the plant in the hole and fill any remaining gaps with potting soil. Gently press the soil down to secure the plant.
  • Water the plant thoroughly and let it sit for a few days before resuming normal watering.

Repotting your indoor plants can help them grow to their fullest potential. Make sure to choose the right soil mix and pot size for your plants, and don't forget to water and fertilize them regularly.
