Most houseplants need to be repotted every 1 to 2 years, but it depends on the plant and how fast it's growing.
Here are some signs that your plant might need a home:
🌱 Roots are growing out of the drainage holes – Your plant is probably root-bound and needs more space.
🌱 Water drains too quickly – If water runs right through, the soil might be too compacted or the roots have taken over the pot.
🌱 Slow growth or yellowing leaves – If your plant isn’t perking up even with good care, fresh soil could help.
🌱 The plant is top-heavy or tipping over – Time for a bigger pot to support that growth!
When repotting, go up one size (about 1-2 inches bigger in diameter) to avoid overwhelming the roots. And always use fresh, high-quality potting mix for a nutrient boost!
Some, like snake plants, can go years without repotting, while others, like monsteras, love a refresh more often! 🌿✨
