Should you immediately repot a plant from a plastic pot ?

Faut-il tout de suite rempoter une plante d’un pot en plastique ? - La Green Touch

You have just acquired a new plant and you can't wait to have it at home so that it can adorn your interior or exterior ?

That said, you are still wondering whether it is necessary to repot your plant immediately after your purchase ? We answer all your questions here!

Generally speaking, it is best to repot your plant as soon as you purchase it since plants are often grown in POTS too small for them to grow properly.

So plan a nice pot in which you can repot it as soon as possible.

On the other hand, be vigilant if you notice that your plant is in buds or flowers. In this case, be sure to plan to repot your plant a little later to avoid a possible fall of the buds.

The choice of your new pot is also very important since it will allow you to wait long enough before the next repotting. One year later for a young plant, and two to three years later thereafter.

The pot you choose must have a hole at the bottom and must have a slightly larger diameter than the old one (between three to five centimeters more). Find a happy medium and don't choose a pot model that's too big.

The roots will not find their bearings and your plant may quickly look gray.
