# At what point would you repot this fiddly fig? It’s doing great in…

_Postat av Lgroener den 2026-01-24_

At what point would you repot this fiddly fig? It’s doing great in this self-watering pot, but I noticed its roots coming through the bottom when I last added water. I’m nervous to touch it - I don’t want it to go all fiddly on me. If i did repot, I’d do another self-watering pot - its worked really well. Thoughts??

Roots tend to end up in the water reservoir sooner or later with self watering pots. That doesn't necessarily mean it's ready for a repot- the roots are just looking for a water source and found one. You can let them be, cut them off, or pull the plant out of the pot and put it back in with the roots inside the pot.

Personally, I leave them alone until they fill about half the reservoir then pull the plant out of the pot and see if the roots can be wrapped into the current pot or if it needs a bigger one.
