# Help! Ok, so, I’m moving on the ninth and I just (maybe 2 weeks ago)…

_Postat av Ada den 2023-05-29_

Help!  
Ok, so, I’m moving on the ninth and I just (maybe 2 weeks ago) got a fiddle leaf fig from one of my neighbors that isn’t doing so good (he needs to be repotted).  
So I don’t know whether I should move and repot him on the same day and risk putting him in so much shock that he dies, or moving him and waiting a few weeks to repot, running the risk of him dying from being root bound/having a root infection.

PS, luckily my new house is only like 5 minutes away so there isn’t much risk in the transportation.

PPS, he’s lost five leaves since I got him but the problem seems to have slowed down I think.

If it has root rot or other issues related to being pot bound already, it might be best to address those issues now to prevent further damage to them. But if it’s only pot bound you can probably wait

I agree with Lucyfern. Go ahead and repot it. As you said, it should cause much stress during the moving process.
