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 😅 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/ghxJqPdlTuOusT_Tl4xtPw.webp?size=large) ## 14개의 댓글 ### Tabi :)님이 2024-06-08에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 :) #### Bri님이 2024-06-08에 답변했습니다. 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 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/615Gpg9aSLGotuNS3NWOOg.webp?size=large) #### Bri님이 2024-06-08에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/yMq2oMdUSDuVgmtHHvsyKA.webp?size=large) #### Alysia 🪴님이 2024-06-08에 답변했습니다. 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 #### Bri님이 2024-06-08에 답변했습니다. 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 ? #### Bri님이 2024-06-08에 답변했습니다. Also the korm should I leave it in the pot ? _앱에서 2개의 답글 더 보기_ ### Sunny님이 2024-06-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. 🍀🪴 #### Bri님이 2024-06-09에 답변했습니다. Thank you bunches ! 🪴 is a 5 inch too big do you think ? #### Sunny님이 2024-06-09에 답변했습니다. 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. #### Bri님이 2024-06-09에 답변했습니다. 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 #### Sunny님이 2024-06-09에 답변했습니다. Yes. Just leave a little room around the roots for them to grow. #### Bri님이 2024-06-09에 답변했습니다. Thank you ! I went with a 4 inch terracotta 🥹 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/Lss_PAHZTfijkd-8f4e5zQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
