# I’m wondering if it’s ok to repot my elephant ear now since we are…

_Opslået af Jen den 2026-10-15_

I’m wondering if it’s ok to repot my elephant ear now since we are working our way in to the cooler months. She definitely is crowded. I had my son (because holy heck she is heavy) to pick her up and there are roots everywhere.

I’m apprehensive because I don’t want to disrupt her beautiful growth. What’s the best way to go about it? Do I split the pot?

She’s stunning 😍

Thank you! She knows she is my favorite. I had to bring her back from near death so I’m freaking out about repotting and upsetting her. Haha

All I can say is WOW! You must have done something right to get such a healthy, huge and magnificent plant.  
All I can say is “Holy Heck!”  
Lol 😂 that’s gonna be my new phrase 🌻

Aww thanks. She has gotten bigger. I just watered her but have recently been fertilizing like crazy. It’s been helping but she’s getting too big for her britches. Haha going to attempt to repot tomorrow. 🤞🏼

You got this my friend!  
And I thought my family were the only ones who said “britches” anymore. 😊 I do love being in the south🌻

I do advise repotting after a good watering to loosen up the soil. You can try to push down on the sides to squeeze things and loosen it up a bit. Can always cut her out if needed.

Thank you!
