WHEN TO REPOT HOUSE PLANTS?

Repotting house plants is an important part of keeping them healthy and thriving, but knowing when is the best time to do so can be difficult. If you want to ensure that your plants get the best conditions for rooting and growing, then you need to know when the best time is to repot them.

The ideal time of year to repot house plants is during the dormant period. This is typically in the late winter or begining of spring, when the plants have stopped growing and are preparing for the next stage of growth. Generally, a house plant needs to be repotted when the roots have outgrown their current container and there isn't enough room for them to grow.

The best time to repot a house plant is when it has just finished flowering, or when new growth is just beginning. During this time, the plants are actively pushing out new roots and leaves and will therefore benefit more from fresh soil and clean containers. Additionally, actively growing plants will be better able to bounce back from the disturbance of being repotted.

When repotting the plant, make sure to use fresh soil, suitable for house plants of good quality, and ensure that the container is not significantly larger than the one the plant came in, as larger containers can hold too much moisture and lead to root rot. Be sure to carefully take the plant out of its old pot and to gently massage the rootball free from its old soil.

For best results, try to repot the plant when the days are beginning to warm and nights are still cold. This will give the plants the best chance of adjusting and coping with the disruption of being moved.

Overall, the best time to repot house plants is during the dormant period in late winter through early spring. Taking the time to properly repot your plants during this time will ensure they’re better able to establish themselves in their new containers and freshen up their soil.
