Spring Repotting: Step-by-Step Guide to Repotting Your Plants

Spring is in full bloom and it is the ideal time to give your houseplants a fresh start by repotting them. This transition period provides the perfect conditions for your plants to thrive and grow. But why is potting plants so important and when is the right time? Let's take a closer look at this.

Why Repot?

Repotting offers a number of benefits for your plants. It helps to renew the potting soil, making the nutrients available to your plants again. In addition, it gives you the opportunity to inspect and prune the roots of your plants, which promotes plant growth and health. Additionally, repotting your plants offers the opportunity to transfer them to a larger pot, giving them more room to grow.

The Right Moment for Repotting

Although spring is an excellent time to repot, it is important to know when your plants are ready. Plants that are still dormant, such as during the winter months, may not be ready to be repotted. Wait until the growing season starts before you start repotting.

Step by Step: How to Repot Houseplants Successfully

1. Choose the right pot : Select a pot that is slightly larger than your plant's current pot. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to drain excess water.

2. Prepare the new potting soil : Choose a potting soil that is suitable for the type of plant you are going to repot. View our different types of potting soil in our care products for the best options for your plant.

3. Carefully remove the plant from the pot : Tilt the pot and gently tap the bottom to loosen the roots. Gently pull the plant out of the pot and shake excess potting soil from the roots.

4. Inspect and prune the roots : Check the roots for any damage or disease. If necessary, prune damaged or rotten roots with a sharp, clean tool.

5. Place the plant in the new pot : Fill the new pot with a layer of fresh potting soil and place the plant in the center. Fill the rest of the pot with potting soil and press lightly around the plant.

6. Water : Water the plant generously to saturate the new potting soil and allow the water to run through the drainage holes.
