Why do plants need repotting?
Repotting is essential for plant growth. If a plant is left for too long in it's pot it may become root-bound and stop growing. Root-bound means, in a potted plant, that the plant has over-grown it's pot. The space in the pot has become filled with the roots of the plant and there is little or no dirt left. If there is no dirt left there is no substance for nutrients and the plant will stop growing. Depending on the plant, typically repotting consists of trimming the excess roots at the root ball, leaving 2-3 inches of roots and repootting the newly trimmed plant. It may be a good idea to use a bigger pot, again depending on the plant.
