Hello everyone! I’ve run into an issue with a few of my plants (inch plant, pothos, umbrella tree) where I’ve repotted them into a bigger pot \& just one to two months later they have roots poking out of the drainage holes already. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

likely no. do you bottom water? is the plant actually growing? could be an excellent sign

### Audrey comentó el 2024-06-28

No!! Roots will grow toward the moisture at the bottom of the pot. Completely normal(:

Roots poking out the bottom are likely sipping on the drainage water in the saucer below the pot. Empty the drainage water to avoid this condition. These roots are not necessarily a sign the plant needs repotting. Always remove the pot to check the roots.
