# Hello lovelies! 🌱 Wondering about my bird of paradise. I’ve had this…

_Posted by shalynbri on 2024-04-28_

Hello lovelies! 🌱

Wondering about my bird of paradise. I’ve had this plant for over a month now so it should be acclimated to my space… there’s I’m guessing a big root growing out the bottom of the planters pot and I’m wondering if I should repot? Or if these like to be somewhat root bound?

Thank you!!

Check all the roots before deciding to repot. The one exposed root could be living in the water below the pot. Completely remove the pot. More roots than soil means repotting needed. More soil than roots means wait and check again later

Just really big tuberous ones at the bottom

It looks fine unless it’s blocking drain holes. I would also drain thoroughly before putting the plastic pot into the ceramic pot. Water between the pots is attractive to roots.
