Hi there,
Iβm new to this app and I have 3 plants (so far). I love plants.
When do you know when you have to repot a plant?
Thanks! And please feel free to add me to your page. Thank you!

Welcome! Me too and you're in good company hereπ
I had this question too and repotted a few way too soon, oops π now, I wait for them to acclimate in their new digs a bit. Later if I see a lot of roots out the drainage holes, they aren't holding water and it goes right through when watering, I cannot attribute yellow or browning leaves or leaf edges to anything else I'll pull them out and take a look. If they're all wound up and there's little soil, it's time. That's me though, everyone has their ways I'm sure π

Hello, and welcome to the Greg App. I agree with @SteffyHazPlants, also bright indirect light, no tap water, only filtered or distilled water. Tap water has a lot of chemicals in it. If you must use tap water, let the water rest for a good 24 hours open, before using.
@SweetAzurebluet I forgot the tap water part π I started using aquarium water conditioner and what a difference! Ours is so hard here even I hate it.
@SteffyHazPlants I know what you mean, I learn that lesson, when my Dracaena, started having white blotches on her leaves. It came from me using tap water, to wipe down her leaves. I google and found out, that was the problem. So I started using filtered water for all my plants!οΏΌ
Often, you need to repot your plant when it becomes rootbound or whenever you see new growth.
