# Question! Should I continue to repot my plants as their roots grow…

Question! Should I continue to repot my plants as their roots grow bigger or do some need to stay in the same size pot?

Thanks 😄

Wrapped roots make not a happy plant. Regardless of variety. Pot on Brie!

I think some like to be more root bound. If you unlock your profile, maybe we can help more.😊

I wouldn’t repot until the roots start to come through the holes in the bottom of pots.

It depends on the plant! Most common houseplants or edible plants should be repotted before this. Not only because of crowding, but because repotting the plant will stress or tear the roots coming through the bottom.

Depends on how much space you have. You can keep upsizing as the plants grow if you have room. To keep plants healthy and the same size, trim roots and put back in the same container. Personal preference here

Thank you everyone for your advice! I decided to repot them so I'll keep y'all updated! 🌱😊
