Not only the potted plants in your living room, but also the potted plants for the balcony and terrace need to be repotted more or less regularly. The larger the pots or the plants in them, the more difficult this work is.
When should you repot potted plants?
The best time to repot potted plants is in spring, before new growth. Young plants should be repotted annually, while older plants can be repotted every two to three years. Repotting is also advisable if the soil is used up or the plant becomes too big for the container.
When should I repot my container plants?
Ideally, you should repot your potted plants in spring before new growth begins. On the one hand, you can then combine repotting with pruning, and on the other hand, the plants are then easier to handle. Young plants should be repotted more often than older ones because of their stronger growth.
Time to repot:
- usually immediately after purchase
- when the plants become too big for the container
- when the earth is used up
- for root rot and wet soil
- ideally regularly in spring
- young pot plants annually, older ones every two to three years
