I had someone tell me to do it immediately cuz they are reused and full of diseases. ## 12件のコメント ### Elinさんが2026-03-07にコメントしました If I have time and energy I prefer to repot my new plants. But it’s mainly because most plants are somewhat root bound when sold at nurseries, or in bad/old soil. #### Belleさんが2026-03-07に返信しました Yeah Elin I normally always do but I wait until they are outta quarantine. Another question for you, should I be shaking the old soil off?? That’s what I’ve been doing but then some ppl say don’t mess with the root ball….sry I’ve been doing the plant mom thing for some months now but I still feel like a newb!! 💚🌱💚 #### Elinさんが2026-03-07に返信しました You can carefully remove some of the old soil, though there’s no need to remove it all. Most plants handle root disturbance and some damage quite well, but some plants are more sensitive and require a gentler touch. - like stressed plants, or delicate cuttings/seedling. #### Belleさんが2026-03-08に返信しました Ty Elin for the advice!! I think I’ve been stressing them unnecessarily so I definitely appreciate any advice that I can get!!💚🌱💚 ### The leafy Angelさんが2026-03-07にコメントしました I do wait until the plat tells me it needs to be repotted but if I can see that it has a “ death plug” I repot within a week #### Greenthumbhopefulさんが2026-03-07に返信しました What is a death plug? #### Philさんが2026-03-08に返信しました A death plug is a plug mesh that nurseries use to propagate plants. The story started on Facebook several years ago. I don’t really agree with the story. I’ve had several plants with plugs. The only time I have a problem is when I buy a plant and want it for semi hydro. I usually can’t get the plugs off because the roots have grown thru it, which is the intention. ### fueyさんが2026-03-08にコメントしました I usually do, especially when buying a plant in warmer temps. I have no time for bugs. if they can’t survive a full spa day on day 1 then they didn’t belong in my home anyways #### Belleさんが2026-03-09に返信しました Fuey I most definitely agree with you, and I love your take on it!! I was so worried about stressing them but you’re exactly right!!! Full spa day it is!! ✨🌱✨ ### Sabineさんが2026-03-08にコメントしました I always do. I find that the nursery soil is almost always what starts a plants decline. So I always rinse it under water to knock any pests off, and repot with all new soil mix appropriate for the plant. As mentioned above- I almost always find death plugs when I repot. ### Belleさんが2026-03-09にコメントしました Ty everyone for the awesome advice!! I agree I prefer to do the spa day thing but I was afraid I was stressing them but like Fuey said if they can’t survive a full spa day then they don’t belong in my house!! ### Belleさんが2026-03-09にコメントしました The only plant so far that I’ve bought with death plus is one of my bromeliads and I thought it was part a of her lol 😂 good to know!! If I can remove them I should correct?? ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/Gs00imfMQHWAsHigtnX_Uw.webp?size=large) --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
