Morning! Bought a Thai constellation yesterday, but I don’t like the soil it’s in. I think it’s in peat. Do you guys repot right away after bringing a new plant home? I usually don’t but I really don’t like this soil 🙃

    I do, let’s me throw systemic granules into the soil.

    With monsteras especially but really anything that really requires chunky mix I do, absolutely. It’s also a good chance to check for pests or root rot.

    I always repot new plants right away. It lets me check for pests, root rot, mesh death plugs, and change the soil. My thoughts are, you’re bringing a plant into a totally new environment, I might as well do all the shocking things all at once. Although, I feel like I’ve never had a plant go into shock after a big change. I think I’m just lucky.

    Thanks for the tips. I’ll go ahead and repot today.

    Same - I repot immediately. I refuse to risk pests coming in. The only exception is baby plants (specifically tropicals) as I want to give them a beat to acclimatise. So, I keep those in terrarium jars for a week, and then repot.
