How to Repot a Houseplant: Step-by-Step Instructions!

Learn how to repot a houseplant with step-by-step instructions! There are some critical steps involved in repotting houseplants which I go over all in this video. One of the most important steps includes loosening the root ball!
In this particular video, I repot a cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior) but the process is the same regardless of the plant.

Good deal on telling people to treat for insects, especially on plants being brought indoors

[@OhioTropics]

It's an important step!

Grandma's plant from 1969?! That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing 🥰

Glad you enjoyed it Julie! I love heirloom plants because of the stories behind them :-)

[@juliebell6270]

Me too. As a child I ate all of the blooms off my grandma's prize winning rose bush. Spread each petal with icing and ate them. Pretty sure a mischievous aunt was involved 😂😂

Now THAT is hilarious! It's always the mischievous aunts lol

Very cool of you to recycle your pot pieces like that. Why waste it when there’s still good use for it ? 🌱🔨😌

I love how you just get right into it! I wish I'd watched this before repotting my monstera yesterday, it was super rootbound, so I hope I separated it enough. And thanks for the terracotta tip, that makes a ton of sense, so I'll start doing that going forward. Hope to see some new videos!
