Plant repottings involve transferring a plant into a larger container or refreshing the soil within the current pot. Proper timing ensures minimal stress and promotes vigorous growth. It is important to consider the plant’s growth cycle, signs of root congestion, and seasonal conditions to determine the most appropriate time for repotting. Statistics show that plants repotted during their active growth phase tend to recover faster and develop stronger root systems, leading to improved health and aesthetic appeal.
