REPOTTING MY ROOT BOUND POTHOS | Combining Two Plants!

REPOTTING MY ROOT BOUND POTHOS | Combining Two Plants! These plants would dry out so fast, so I decided to repot in some fresh soil. When I took them out I noticed they were root bound and needed to be repotted.

You do you! Everyone has opinions and what works for them, doesn't necessarily mean it works for all! You are an expert with YOUR plants! I rarely disrupt the roots. Unless I have a pest infestation, I leave the root ball as is when up-potting. <3

don't worry about negative comments, i learned a lot, thank you! please keep making these teaching videos. I appreciate these simple "how-to" instructions without frills.

I find that if I'm repotting a rootbound plant like those, if I soak the bottom of the roots for a minute or so, it softens the roots enough that they are much easier to untangle without too much breakage. Although, if I have one where the roots are really circled and compact at the bottom, I use a really sharp, large knife and just cut the bottom off and then repot. So far, so good.

I'm really lazy, I've never bothered with removing the soil in 20 years of gardening unless its the original peat moss that it came in from the nursery and I'm changing it to something completely different. I also don't bother with loosening up or touching the roots either, they can make their own way to the new soil fine, never had a strangled plant. The only time I touch the roots is if I want to limit the size of the plant so it doesn't take over my space or I want to keep it in the same size pot, then I take the scissors and prune usually about a third. I live in an apartment so space is really limited.
There's more than one way to look after plants, and you do what works best for you and yours. Ignore these Plant Gestapo. They'd probably have a fit if they knew I reuse all my old potting mixes as well.

Really bothers me to think that viewers' comments are bothersome. Just know that many of us really appreciate your wonderful channel!!

It's so interesting to see how everyone has different techniques and experiences with their plants. I've personally had rootbound plants go into remission a few months after repotting if I do not loosen up the roots. Upon closer inspection some roots have always found their way into the newer and fresher soil while the ones trapped within the ball continue to decline. Others swear by leaving them be which I find bonkers...but like you said, whatever works!

Just keep doing what works for you. Personally, the less I mess with the roots the better my plants bounce back from being repotted.

Hi Jeff it's Adele, I love pothos. Nice video.Lovely, lush plants.

[leahstrydom]

Gorgeous result! It's so nice and full! Love it

[ritaalicea]

I agree get rid of that old soil! Refresh it with new soil which will have lots more nutrients! I also break up the roots a little when really root bound, I think it depends on the plants too. Either way your videos are great and I trust your judgement since your plants always look so happy and healthy!

[bobbiroberts]

When I repot I loosen some of the roots(if the roots are not those that are very thin) I remove some soil from bottom and some of the top then I just put some fresh soil and backfill. My theory is that in nature plants don’t always have fresh soil lol. You know your plants so you do what you know makes your babies thrive!

[georgeking]

I wondered if by putting the two plants in one pot, won't that make them root bound awfully quick and have to make you separate them all that quicker? By the way it made a beautiful plant. I liked the idea you say your not an expert and your learn as you got. That's me also. If it wasn't for youtube I'd be lost.

Thank you so very much! I ready to transplant two big pothos. Thank you so very much for your uTube!!!

[harrybarnes]

Don't worry about other people so much you are doing great from where I'm sitting watching this video

[StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Great video. Do what you wish with your own plants lol. Never let anyone dictate how and why you do things the way you do lol. Your entitled to leave the soil around the roots if thats what you wish to do and it's working for you. Thanks for sharing! It took me a long time to get the hang of not letting comments bother me. Your always going to have judgement when posting videos online. Don't let it get to you❤

[sallyedmondson]

Such healthy looking plants though ?! 😍

[janicemackey]

Beautiful!! Pothos r one of my Favorite house plants!

[lisawagner]

Beautiful plant! But I have a feeling you will be repotting that again in the spring, LOL. That was a lot of roots!

[claraavin]

You just gave me a good idea. Great video. thanks

[jennykenney]
