# I bought this white bird of paradise in June and haven’t repotted…

_Posted by Frank on 2023-10-25_

I bought this white bird of paradise in June and haven’t repotted since. So it’s sitting the the same soil and pot I bought it in. I checked the bottom of the pot today and saw it’s roots sticking out. I think I should repot it but I’m not sure it would be a good idea as it’s now late October and it’s going into winter. My house stays around 20 degrees celsius so would the time of year maybe not affect when to repot it?  
Not really sure so could someone let me know thank you

That’s 68 degrees! That’s not bad at all. I would check the root ball first though. Sometimes a few roots may come out of the bottom but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s root bound.

Oh okay thank you
