# I’m a new plant parent. I’ve had Tucker the Cast Iron plant for about…

_Postat av NewPlantMom den 2024-05-25_

I’m a new plant parent. I’ve had Tucker the Cast Iron plant for about 3 weeks. I repotted him this week. I have never repotted a plant before. Now the bottom of the stems are white. Did I mot pot him deep enough? Should I do it again or is that too shocking for him?

I wouldn’t repot again. White stems are just because of previous lack of light in that area, they should be fine. Next time (in about a year) make sure to pot a bit deeper. Hope this helps!!

Also next time you repot make sure to cover all of the roots! :)

Don’t repot again just keep a eye on it and in about 6 months repot in a dipper pot but if it starts to look worse than it might be another issue.
