Repotting Plants For Beginners

March 21, 2025 – Repotting plants in Texas requires careful timing and consideration of the climate. The best time is during spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix suited for the plant type. Gently remove the plant, shake off excess soil, and inspect roots for rot or overcrowding. Trim unhealthy roots before placing the plant in its new pot. Water thoroughly and keep the plant in partial shade for a few days to reduce transplant shock. Avoid repotting in extreme heat, as Texas summers can stress newly potted plants.
