But I also need to water her today,… _Briさんが2024-06-08に投稿しました_ So I want to repot this plant ! But I also need to water her today, she’s in a 4 in with no drainage and I’ve been waiting to repot her because she was freshly potted when I got her. My question is do I wait or just go for it ? I’m terrified of taking her out or disturbing her 😅 ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/ghxJqPdlTuOusT_Tl4xtPw.webp?size=large) ## 14件のコメント ### Tabi :)さんが2024-06-08にコメントしました How long is the plant ? You could always carefully remove her from the container she’s in and check out the root ball and see if it’s needing a size up. Also, string plants are tricky to repot because they’re so delicate so don’t be sad if you lose a leaf or two or three . You can always propagate with them! When I repot my string of pearls there’s always a few pears that escape . Sometimes a string breaks too, luckily it’s easy to turn those strings into new plants! YouTube helped me a lot, hope this helps too :) #### Briさんが2024-06-08に返信しました That’s what I’m afraid of ! Lol losing any leaves or anything really 🤣 my last string of hearts didn’t do so hot 😅 the strings are like 5-7 inches ? Also have this little ball thing hanging out here lol don’t know what it is ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/615Gpg9aSLGotuNS3NWOOg.webp?size=large) #### Briさんが2024-06-08に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/yMq2oMdUSDuVgmtHHvsyKA.webp?size=large) #### Alysia 🪴さんが2024-06-08に返信しました That is a korm! Stimulates new growth, so your plant is probably pretty healthy, however it looks verrry thirsty… I wouldn’t be so afraid of loosing the leaves bc at this point, some of those are going to fall off whether you repot or not. I would go ahead and just repot her today and give her a good water! Make sure to only upsize 1-2 inches and the pot should be very shallow for string of hearts so the soil can dry out more quickly bc they don’t like to stay moist for too long #### Briさんが2024-06-08に返信しました She does need a good drink ! Lol I’m supposed to water her today for sure I’ll most likely repot I’m just extremely scared. I kept watering her on the lesser side because I was afraid of overwatering especially with no drainage. Should I water today and wait to repot on another day ? #### Briさんが2024-06-08に返信しました Also the korm should I leave it in the pot ? _アプリでさらに2件の返信を見る_ ### Sunnyさんが2024-06-09にコメントしました Remove it and carefully repot as soon as possible in a pot with drainage. A 4 inch wide pot should be a good size for that size plant. More exposed top soil will allow excess water to evaporate. Water thoroughly since it’s under watered. Fertilize and provide bright indirect light to encourage growth. 🍀🪴 #### Briさんが2024-06-09に返信しました Thank you bunches ! 🪴 is a 5 inch too big do you think ? #### Sunnyさんが2024-06-09に返信しました Check the width of the root ball. It’s ok to use a 5 inch pot if the root ball is 3” or 4” wide. #### Briさんが2024-06-09に返信しました Awesome thanks ! If it isn’t is it ok to put it in a 4 in plastic pot ? Wider up top than the one it’s in now #### Sunnyさんが2024-06-09に返信しました Yes. Just leave a little room around the roots for them to grow. #### Briさんが2024-06-09に返信しました Thank you ! I went with a 4 inch terracotta 🥹 ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/Lss_PAHZTfijkd-8f4e5zQ.webp?size=large) --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
