# Quick Q: I have a few indoor plants under grow light that are quickly…

Quick Q:

I have a few indoor plants under grow light that are quickly outgrowing their pots, and showing signs of stress.

But with the colder weather (our current home has no central heat) and an upcoming move in the next month or two I’m hesitant to repot them since that sounds really stressful.

Any recommendations?

Move away from grow light to slow growth without repotting ?  
Repot, move into one of the heated rooms and make sure they’re on the last round of moving to maximize their adjustment time?

Thanks fronds 🌿💚

You could do a root trim, it's less shock than a full repot and is how you keep plants at their current pot size rather than always increasing the size. Trim any low yellowing leaves too to reduce load on the plant

I’ll do that, thank you 🙏🏼
