# Do I need to repot my pinguicula sethos? I have had it almost a year…

_Posted by Halicia on 2025-12-09_

Do I need to repot my pinguicula sethos? I have had it almost a year and haven’t repotted it. It’s my first and only carnivorous plant so I am looking for care and repotting tips! Thank you!

I have enjoyed using this brand of soil. When I repotted my carnivorous plant, I made sure the soil was a good amount wet and firmly together, so I could extract as big of a soil chunk as possible and to no disturb the leaves or get them dirty. You don’t want to tip these plants very far to remove them, so the soil being tightly together helps. Also get another nursery thin plastic container just in case you have to cut it out of the pot in the future.

When in doubt, I cut the nursery pot to release the plant haha. 🌵
