Hey there Plantito's / Plantita's! 🌱🌿💚

These are the basic steps to repot your houseplants. You may follow them to give optimum growth to your beloved plants.

Steps to Repot
1. Remove plant from current pot
Turn your new plant sideways, hold it gently by the stems or leaves, and tap the bottom of its current pot until the plant slides out. You might need to give it a bit of help with a couple gentle tugs on the base of the stems.

2. Loosen the roots
Loosen the plant’s roots gently with your hands. You can prune off any threadlike roots that are extra long, just make sure to leave the thicker roots at the base of the foliage. If your plant is root bound – the roots are growing in very tight circles around the base of the plant – unbind the roots as best you can and give them a trim.

3. Remove old potting mix
Remove about one third or more of the potting mix surrounding the plant. As it grew, your plant removed some of the nutrients in the current mix, so you'll want to give it fresh mix if you're potting it anyway!

4. Add new potting mix
Pour a layer of fresh potting soil into the new planter and pack it down, removing any air pockets. If your new planter doesn’t have a drainage hole, layer the bottom with lava rocks or similar (rocks, gravel, etc.) before adding the potting mix. The goal is to create crevices for the extra water to pool into, away from your plant’s roots.

5. Add plant
Set your plant that you removed from the grow pot on top of the fresh layer of mix in the new planter, making sure it's centered, then add potting mix around the plant until it is secure. Be sure not to pack too much soil into the planter, as you want the roots to breathe.

6. Water and enjoy
Even out the potting soil on top and water well! It's worth noting that a freshly repotted plant does not need to be fed fertilizer.

Plants typically need to be repotted every 12 to 18 months, depending on how actively they are growing. Some slow growers can call the same pot home for years, but will just require a soil replenishment.

Happy planting!🪴💚🌿

Are we overwatering or under-watering our plants? This is the common question most plantito and plantita have.

Here’s a video on how to water houseplants and how much water they need to keep them well.

Not all plants need the same amount of water. Your plants are more likely to die from too much water than too little of it.

Also, you would know that you’re overwatering your houseplants when these occur❗️

• No new growth and yellowing leaves that are dropping off can be signs of overwatering.
• You may also notice wilting, which can be confusing because that is also a sign of too little water. The trick is to check the soil when you notice these problems: If it feels wet, you probably should go easier on the water. If the soil is dry, you may need to give your plant more water. If watering doesn't improve things, you may need to adjust the temperatures or light levels your plant gets.
• If you think you've been overwatering your plants, it doesn't necessarily mean they are doomed. Just let the soil dry out a bit before watering again.

Knowing how to water your houseplants definitely requires some experience. The more you do it, the better you'll get at caring for your indoor garden.

Happy planting everyone! 💚🌿🌱

Monstera is more commonly propagated by stem cuttings.

With cuttings, you have the option of rooting them in water first or simply sticking them straight into the soil. Cuttings should be taken just after a leaf node, removing the bottom-most leaves.
