When your plant first arrives at its new home, give it time to acclimate. Place it where you’re planning on having it live and give it two to three weeks to settle in. Your home is very different from the nursery where it grew, and then it spent time in transit. This ‘downtime’ will let it bounce back before you disturb it with the repotting process. Remember, plants are fragile living things too! Now, when you’re repotting your plants, you’ll want to take them out of their current pots, shake out the old soil, and repot them with fresh potting mix (and if you’re a new plant parent, learn more about pots and plant health here). Use fresh potting mix whether you’re just looking to refresh your plant’s soil or size up because your plant needs a bigger home. To stay healthy, potted plants need old soil replaced with new potting mix for fresh nutrients.
