Hey, guys! This is my first plant that I am taking on. I put my plant Cudi in a bigger pot today and am curious about your experiences with how your plant reacted. Here is a picture of what his roots looked like when we plucked him out of his tiny pot.

Question

@00Severijn · Answer

WOW! I’ve had it both ways where my repotted plants have been shook for awhile afterwards, but some (like my golden pothos) have thrived (thriven??? Lol) immediately after getting a bigger pot and new soil. In fact, because it’s been hit or miss, I’m super worried to repot a couple I know could really benefit from a little more room…… I’m kind of a coward. EDIT: I can’t stop staring at these roots, homie. Amazing.

woah yeah that definitely needs more room lol i only have one plant right now but my moms bringing me to the store in about 10 minutes and im hoping to beg her into getting me 2 or even 3 more plants instead of just 1 more but your plant will be a lot more happy in its bigger pot 🪴🙂

i think it depends!! my succulents and ficus pumila take repotting well but my pilea will be upset for a while- he’s finally getting better rn. for future reference try not to water for the first day or so bc there may be damage to the roots and it can invite rot ^^ even if cudi gets sad after the repot, he’ll recover in a couple weeks so its nothing to worry about. also welcome and glad you could join our #PLANTMAFIA !!
