FAQ
Do rubber plants need to be repotted often?
Rubber plants typically do not need to be repotted often, as they prefer to be slightly root-bound in their pot. The optimal time to repot a rubber plant is every 2-3 years in the spring when the plant is actively growing. Be sure to choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger than the current one, and use a well-draining potting mix. Never repot a rubber plant in a too-large pot as this can lead to water-logging, which may cause root rot.
Is it necessary to repot anthuriums annually?
No, it is not necessary to repot anthuriums annually. While it is beneficial from time to time to repot anthuriums in order to give the plant access to fresh potting soil and more space to grow, anthuriums do not need to be repotted every year. An anthurium’s growth rate and root system is slow-growing and thus, can go a couple of years between repotting. If an anthurium's roots are crowded and spongy, then it can indicate that it is too root-bound and should instead be repotted.
Do corn plants need to be repotted?
Yes, corn plants need to be repotted. Like all other plants, over time corn plants grow and become root-bound. As a result, they can outgrow their current pot or become crowded and lack essential nutrients, air and water in the soil. To give them the best chance to thrive, corn plants need to be repotted every year or two to a pot that is slightly larger than the previous pot and contains fresh, nutrient-rich potting soil. Be sure to water your corn plant thoroughly after repotting to help it establish itself in the new pot.
