Hi all! I have a question regarding re-potting for growth. When do you know when it’s time to relocate a plant to a larger pot? I have a Dragon scale and Elephants Ear- they are growing well, but growth has seemed to stall. Is it time to move them to a larger pot?

I always check the roots personally, by looking underneath the pot. Sometimes I find my plants are incredibly root bound without my knowing!

Check the roots. They’ll tell you what she needs
