# When the Planta app tells you it’s time to repot, what does this…

When the Planta app tells you it’s time to repot, what does this exactly mean? Is it a total toss all the soil and clean roots of the plant? Or just check roots to see if they need repotting because they are over grown? Thank you

I personally use that as the time to check the root system and go from there. If the root system has outgrown the pot, I'll move it to a bigger pot or prune them back if I don't have a bigger pot. It all depends on what you plant needs.

You decide if your plant needs repotting. I repot when I decide it’s needed or I want to change the pot. For those repotting tasks, I hit “skip till next time”. Then when I do repot, I list it under options, plus add a new photo. An FYI, repotting counts as a watering in the app.

Oh I didn't know that a repot counts it as watered.

I had over 320 plant chores today with the repotting. All my plants are new so I skipped.

I just got into plants in July. So my plants are 4 inches and months olds.

Funny - for me most of the one that needed to be repotted weren’t on the list 🤦‍♀️
