Repotting made simple
Give crowded roots a little more room.
Step by step
- 1
Check the roots
Slide out the root ball and check for densely circling roots or very little potting mix left.
- 2
Choose the right pot
Pick a pot one size larger with drainage holes. Add fresh mix suited to the plant.
- 3
Settle it in
Set the root ball at its previous depth, fill around it gently, and water according to the plant’s needs.
Common mistake
Choosing a much larger pot, where excess mix can stay wet too long.
In practice
If a pothos has filled its pot with roots and dries unusually fast, check whether it needs to move up a size.
