# Am I alone in almost having a panic attack when I opened Planta…

Am I alone in almost having a panic attack when I opened Planta today?  
Now I know that I don’t have to do all of the tasks itemised for today but I’m supposed to be repotting 7 plants!?!  
Is it because it’s March and the supposed start to Spring? Or is this app trying to get me running for the hills?

Usually most plants have to be repotted every potted every year because the soil gets old. It doesn’t drain well or I believe hold nutrients anymore.  
It’s probably how long you have had the plants.

I got nearly all of my plants either this or last year. Although I’m a fairly new plant mum, my father was a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, so I understand that my babies need repotting more or less yearly. It was just a bit of a shock to find that Planta wants me to repot SEVEN plants! Guess it thinks that the 1st of March is springtime everywhere lol 😂

I guess I’ll be using the snooze button on most today 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wouldn’t repot just yet, depending on where you’re at. Where I’m at, it’s still way too cold. I would wait a few months. You don’t have to repot all at once either, if it feels too overwhelming for you but a little here and a little there until they’re all replanted.

That’s what I’m going for to be fair. I’m not quite with it first thing in the morning and kind of panicked haha

I’m not a big morning person either. It’s telling me I have to water all my plants today 🫣😫 it’s not necessarily true though. Just bc the app may suggest something still check the plant and make sure. This is my second year since I’ve gotten into plants. The app is a nice guideline but don’t ever think it’s a for sure thing, just bc the app says.

I’d wait closer to summer before any repots depending on where you live. But yeah it’s definitely normal because soil gets old and compacted. Also soil becomes hydrophobic as time goes on, which means it won’t absorb any water.

😂😂😂 it’s because it’s March. In my experience my plants are rarely ready to be repotted when Planta sends the reminder lol

### Hbaさんが2024-03-01にコメントしました

Since I don’t automatically repot each year, I use Planta as a reminder to check roots and soil. Then make my list, buy supplies and have a repotting party the first warm weekend in April. I only repot plants if they are root bound. Everyone else gets a little new soil mixed in and worm castings. I’m way too lazy to do it every year!

repotting is hardly ever an extremely urgent task, it’ll make the plants happy for sure but they’ll likely survive until you’ve got the time for them :) at least in my experience but i usually stick to hardy plants 🥸

### Mulleinさんが2024-03-02にコメントしました

Yeah, Planta automatically rolls this out every March lol. I’m about to get about 100 notifications 🙃 I just “skip until next time” and repot as needed. I only leave the task up if it’s a plant I’m putting off but don’t want to forget to do sooner rather than later
