When i got it in its nursery pot, its roots were already squeezing out. I’m going to repot it but i noticed that the leaves are not pointing down. Could it be because it needs to be repotted. I haven’t overwatered so I hope its because it needs to be repotted. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/041kx3MMzDrgRirCMfRGUicwp14eqyIhq2ycoeHHEx0/gvH9y9FrTeeMLtYHT2H5LQ.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### LearningPlantMom님이 2024-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Definelty repot!! When the leaves are leaning down it is usually because of water imbalance or exposure to cold draft, or too much light or intense heat. Maybe do some research and figure out the specific plant this is, and then research all the things you can do to help it thrive, watering amount, how much sun, type of soil. Definelty find out the type of soil your plant will do best in before repotting. #### Cryingwolf님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. Thank you! I know its a chinese evergreen, I’m just not sure what type it is, there’s so many 😭 ### LearningPlantMom님이 2024-04-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. It looks like an algaonema white pearl ### LearningPlantMom님이 2024-04-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. Bright to medium indirect light Water once to twice every two weeks, or whenever the soil has dried out. ### Cryingwolf님이 2024-04-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. Wow! You’re the best! Thank you, thats exactly the plant ### Cryingwolf님이 2024-04-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. I was thinking the same, is it still ok that it’s in the nursery pot but the roots are squeezing out of the bottom already? I actually ended up getting the materials today because i was going to need them at some point, but if its better to wait a bit I can do that, I truly appreciate the help, I’m trying to make sure all three of my new plants flourish 😂🙏🏽 #### DanishGramma님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. These are resilient plants that being said I would wait a week first so it’s not getting shocked on top of trying to get acclimated to a new place. I bought a prayer plant in January that was delivered with a carpet of matted roots and I think it was a couple months before I had to repot it. Sometimes algaonemas will droop after you repot them and it can take a week for it to recover. Oh, and nursery pots are great for plants cause they have great drainage holes. 😊 #### LearningPlantMom님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. What were the materials you ended up getting? #### Cryingwolf님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. I have a new pot, and soil, and fertilizer, my question is though, I think its been like a month now with this plant, I know it’ll be traumatic to repot it, but in the nursery pot, its roots are already pushing through a lot, so would repotting it now be bad? Also, when repotting should i first water it then transfer it over, or should i transfer it and then water it in the new pot and soil? --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
