# I got this verbena on Sunday and did not repot, it was very hot this…

_Posted by Kathyc on 2025-07-19_

I got this verbena on Sunday and did not repot, it was very hot this week and I did water it but we had some wild rain too and it’s soaked and Planta is saying it’s not healthy because it’s underwatered.

Should I repot now or wait and do I really give it more water, it is soaked right through…

Thanks

hi! i would look at the roots - is it root bound? if so, you could move it to a pot 1-2” bigger with drainage and fresh soil. if you dont want to change the pot, you can chop 1/3 of the overgrown roots and fill up with fresh soil.
