Repotting houseplants

Repotting houseplants is one of the most important - and most misunderstood - parts of plant care. Over time, potting mixes break down, roots fill available space, and drainage declines. Refreshing the growing medium and giving roots the right amount of room can dramatically improve plant health and growth.

Repotting isn't about putting a plant into the biggest pot possible. It's about choosing the right size, using a well-draining mix suited to the plant's needs, and creating an environment where roots can breathe and function properly. When done thoughtfully - especially during active growth - repotting can reinvigorate a plant and set it up for long-term success.
