Repot when roots densely circle the container, water runs straight through a root-bound pot, the mix has collapsed, or root health needs inspection. A slightly larger pot is usually safer than a dramatic jump.
Steps
- Choose a clean pot with drainage.
- Prepare a mix suited to the plant.
- Slide out the root ball and inspect it.
- Trim only dead, soft, or severely damaged roots with clean tools.
- Replant at the same depth and settle the mix gently.
