# Do you guys think she needs a repot? She’s been doing great and has…

Do you guys think she needs a repot? She’s been doing great and has lots of new growth points but some of her new leaves are coming out orangy and others are curling. I thought maybe she was stressed by the grow lamp so I moved her to a morning sun shady window (out of the sun) but still not doing much better.

I do not think it needs a repot! They like to be crowded. It may be an overwatering issue

🙀 and here I thought I was letting her dry too much lol ok i did skip the fertilizer today because she’s still too wet. Thanks for the input!

I would repot into a slightly larger terracotta pot, the roots will want to breath. I’m a strong believer in big terracotta pots, all plants roots need room! Some new repot plants to show you.

Thank you for the input! I do like the terracotta look. I notice some differences with the roots and space and find it interesting. For example I have a peace Lily in water (it was a small chunk my friend gave me from hers) and it hasn’t grown much since I’ve had for about a year. I’ve been moving it to bigger and bigger vase for the roots so now she has a huge root system with less space in the vase (I don’t have a bigger vase) and now she’s spitting out so many new leaves.

I agree! It really depends on the plant! Good luck 🍀
