When you bring a new plant home, should you immediately repot it, or should you wait a few days and let it acclimate to its new environment first? 🤔 ## 9개의 댓글 ### Brielle님이 2025-05-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. Wait a few days. I honestly dont even repot until i need to go up a size. I just spray them w my pest spray ### max님이 2025-05-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. i like to wait a couple weeks, then do a total repot w new soil when it’s ready to come out of quarantine ### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. it depends on where you got the plant from. if you got it from a big box store (like a hardware store like lowe’s or home depot) I would suggest if not repotting than at least checking that the soil isn’t terrible. but if you got it from a nursery or plant store then it’s probably okay to wait a little bit! #### MicAZ님이 2025-05-31에 답변했습니다. Agree. If I buy from big box, it’s getting repotted that day. I honestly have no trouble repotting immediately anyway. Only my ZZ Plant had a fit and I think he just doesn’t like repotting period. #### fuey님이 2025-05-31에 답변했습니다. I got my Coleus from a nursery, but it was outdoors and the SECOND I walked into my house a Fungus Gnat flew out and I drenched and repotted that hoe. She’s living her best life indoors now 🤭 #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-31에 답변했습니다. i always repot immediately but that just because i’m a bit of a helicopter plant parent. and yes! if it comes from a big box store the soil is either a hydrophobic brick or a complete soup. ### Yolanda님이 2025-05-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. Wait a few days however, I only repot mine if I see the roots hanging out the drainage holes excessively. Or unless you can see that it’s some type of pest on the plant after you get it home ### Sunny님이 2025-05-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. Repotting within 30 days can void the warranty from some nurseries like Steve’s Leaves. Check the warranty info. I avoid repotting quickly unless the plant is a rescue, has pests or is ailing, in general. I don’t repot before the the first 6 weeks if I can avoid it. Most of my hoyas have never been repotted because the roots don’t abundantly grow. I buy the size plant I want to keep as-is for at least a year or two before considering repotting. I repot pothos, philodendrons, monsteras and my queen of the night cacti because I want fuller plants. The photo shows a Hoya Nummularioides in its original 4” nursery pot after one season. Hoyas are happy without frequent repots. Other plants might get root bound. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/yhFguHbITHiBbOghyPDXSA.webp?size=large) ### Kier님이 2025-05-31에 댓글을 남겼어요.
