If you just purchased the perfect house plant, you are wondering if you need to take it out of the container it came in and repot it. The answer is – likely, no. Most house plants can continue to remain in their grower’s pots until they show signs of stress that indicate a need for repotting. They will usually be happy if left in their original containers for the first year, which is good news for those of us who live in the Upper Peninsula.
For your new plant, choose a plant pot cover or unique pottery container. Choose a container to complement your home décor or easily refresh your home office’s look by choosing a pot cover that adds some personality to your plant.
Types of Container Pots
1.Grower’s Pots. These are the original pots the plants are in when they leave the nursery. They are typically plastic or clay. Clay is especially important if it is a plant that requires a more arid environment. House plants should stay in their grower’s pots. Choose a decorative ceramic pot cover or bowl to accentuate the color and lines of your plant.
Tips for Repotting Your Plants
Most houseplants can stay in their original pots for at least a year or more. Evaluate your plants at least once a year to check for signs of being rootbound, or if the substrate (potting material) needs to be replenished. Repot plants that are falling over, rootbound, or you can’t get enough water into them.
