Question

Janet Pizaro · Answer

If the plant needs re-potting you can do it basically any time.Gently pull down any tangled roots and place in fresh soil.

As a general rule, I do not 'add dirt' to houseplants. I repot every spring with fresh houseplant soil or when a plant has outgrown its current container. Here are a couple links to help you out!

Hi Patricia I think any time would be a good time to add dirt if their roots are showing etc.

Nancy Turner · Answer

You don't want to have the roots exposed. You could also try loosening up the soil in the pot, or perhaps it needs to be repotted in a new pot a size bigger and is getting root bound.

Hi Patricia. I re pot my plants every winter. You can add dirt at anytime.

Cindy Hagemann · Answer

Anytime they need it.

Patricia B Barry · Answer

thank you, I was told that should be done in spring.

Pat · Answer

Sometimes over time the dirt in the plant pot settles.....I have removed an inch of the soil and added new soil to the top of the pot (leaving room for water). I do this whenever the pot needs it...no set time. And yes, if the plant seems to big for the pot, you will need to repot it. I had to repot one of my ferns.....cut it in half and put it back in the pot.....is thriving.

Kat · Answer

I usually add new dirt to mine in the spring or even before I bring in for winter.
