if you’ve been meaning to repot a plant all summer... do it now 🌿
fall in Toronto is basically a two week heads up before winter arrives. and once the days get shorter, the light gets weaker — which is exactly what your plant needs to recover from the stress of being repotted.
even moving into a slightly bigger pot disturbs roots. some get damaged in the process. and healing from that takes energy. in summer, there’s plenty of light to fuel that recovery. right now, that window is closing.
if you’re growing under grow lights, you’ve got a bit more flexibility — same light year round, no problem. but if you’re relying on natural light through the windows, sooner is always better.
can you repot in winter? yes. will it be harder on your plant? also yes.
so if there’s a repot you’ve been putting off, you should do it pretty soon. use the light while you still have it. 🌱
