When your plant needs it! It is indeed recommended that you wait until spring to repot your plants & if your plant can wait then I prefer to do so myself. Why is spring better? Plants will produce more energy in the spring to grow by the time summer arrives, if you damage your plant while repotting it will recover more easily in the spring + new soil (which also means new nutrition*) is always useful if you want to make a growth spurt. I repot a plant shortly after purchase to make sure no bugs get into the soil and to get a good idea of the plant's roots. Beware! I do not do this with every plant, some sellers advised you to wait a certain period with repotting and I have learned that sometimes you just have to listen ;) I do try to separate the new plant from my collection for a while to make sure there are no unwanted visitors on it. No place you say? I know that! When it comes to relatively small plants, a greenhouse or freezer bag can often be the solution (don't forget to air it out ;) ). When to repot?
Personally I think it's okay to repot in the other seasons, if your plant meets the above symptoms it probably needs it. Do it with all the care and love and you will be fine. Most plants should be repotted every 1.5 to 2 years. With the exception of slow growing plants such as cacti or succulents. *Read the packaging of your soil to find out how long this nutrition will last. This is different from brand to brand. Just repotted your plant? Do not add extra nutrition, too much can damage your plant. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

AuthorCrazy plant lady who likes to inspire others! Everything I write here comes from my own experience, knowledge that I gained by reading books and on the internet. If I would literally copy someone's info, I would do my best to link it of course! Do you spot typos or do you have other concerns, let me know! Have fun reading! I've only just started writing English blogs since January 2021, that's why there are many Dutch blogs and not so many English ones.
