Plants often die after repotting because the process can cause stress to their roots, leading to transplant shock. This shock can disrupt the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, making it more vulnerable to disease and other environmental stressors. Proper care and attention after repotting can help plants recover and thrive.
Yes, it is important to water plants after repotting them to help them adjust to their new environment and promote healthy growth.
When repotting plants, the new pot should be about 2 inches larger in diameter than the current pot to allow room for the plant to grow.
Your plant may have died after repotting due to transplant shock, which can occur when the plant is disturbed during the repotting process. This can cause stress to the plant, leading to wilting, yellowing, or death. It's important to carefully repot plants, ensuring they have the right soil, drainage, and environment to help them adjust to their new pot.
To determine if your birds of paradise plants are root bound and need repotting, gently remove the plant from its current pot and check if the roots are tightly packed and circling the bottom. If so, it's likely root bound and would benefit from repotting into a larger container.
After repotting water plants, care for them by placing them in a location with adequate sunlight, ensuring the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged, and fertilizing them regularly with a balanced plant food. Monitor the plants for any signs of stress or disease and adjust care as needed.

You should consider repotting a jade plant every 2-3 years to ensure its optimal growth and health.
Watering plants after repotting is crucial for their successful transition to a new container. It helps the plant establish roots in the new soil and reduces stress on the plant. Proper watering ensures the plant receives the necessary nutrients and moisture to thrive in its new environment.
Aloe plants can thrive in small pots as long as they have proper drainage and are not overcrowded. However, they may require more frequent watering and repotting as they grow.
Plants that are not native to an area often die or fail because of the soil type and weather conditions (temperature, water and heat).
Your plant may be dying after repotting due to shock from the change in environment, overwatering, root damage during repotting, or lack of proper care after repotting. It's important to ensure the plant has the right amount of light, water, and nutrients to help it recover.
To propagate Calathea plants effectively, you can divide the plant at the roots during repotting, or take stem cuttings and root them in water or soil. Make sure the new plants have enough warmth, humidity, and indirect light to thrive.
