I had someone tell me to do it immediately cuz they are reused and full of diseases. ## 12개의 댓글 ### Elin님이 2026-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. #### Belle님이 2026-03-07에 답변했습니다. 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!! 💚🌱💚 #### Elin님이 2026-03-07에 답변했습니다. 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. #### Belle님이 2026-03-08에 답변했습니다. 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 Angel님이 2026-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 #### Greenthumbhopeful님이 2026-03-07에 답변했습니다. What is a death plug? #### Phil님이 2026-03-08에 답변했습니다. 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. ### fuey님이 2026-03-08에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 #### Belle님이 2026-03-09에 답변했습니다. 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!! ✨🌱✨ ### Sabine님이 2026-03-08에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. ### Belle님이 2026-03-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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!! ### Belle님이 2026-03-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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?? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/Gs00imfMQHWAsHigtnX_Uw.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
