Repotting Houseplants in Winter: A Simple Guide for Beginners
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, here’s my blog post about repotting houseplants in winter, written from my personal experience:

So, I’ve got this fiddle leaf fig, right? It was looking pretty sad, all droopy and not growing much. I figured it was probably root-bound, even though it’s winter. Usually, you’re told to wait till spring, but I had a hunch and decided to go for it. I’m going to repot it, and record my entire experience of repotting plants in winter for everyone.

Repotting Houseplants in Winter: A Simple Guide for Beginners

Getting Started

First, I gathered all my stuff. I needed a new pot, obviously, one that was just a couple of inches bigger than the old one. I also got some fresh potting mix – I like the kind with good drainage, nothing too heavy. And of course, my trusty watering can.

The Dirty Work

Next, I carefully took the fig out of its old pot. It was definitely root-bound! The roots were all circling around the bottom. Gently, I teased the roots apart, trying not to break too many. I loosen them up a bit so they can spread out in the new pot.

  • I chose a pot that has drain holes.
  • I Gently took the fig out of its old pot
  • I teased the roots apart, but not too much.
  • I pruned off and damaged roots.

Settling In

I put a layer of the new potting mix in the bottom of the new pot. Then, I placed the fig in the center and started filling in around the roots with more soil. I made sure not to pack it too tightly, just enough to hold the plant steady.

The Finish Line

Once it was all potted up, I gave it a good watering. I let the water run through until it came out the drainage holes. This helps settle the soil and gives the roots a good drink.

Finally, I put my fig back in its usual spot, where it gets plenty of bright, indirect light. Now, it’s just a waiting game! I’ll keep an eye on it, watering when the top inch of soil feels dry. Fingers crossed it perks up and starts thriving in its new home.

Honestly, repotting in winter felt a bit risky, but sometimes you gotta trust your gut. My fig seems happier already, so I’m calling it a win! Just be gentle, use good soil, and don’t overwater, and your plants might just thank you for a mid-winter upgrade.
