 What to do when you bring a new plant home, you ask? Watch this. Do not repot right away. We don't want to repot right away, but we wanna check if our plant needs repotting. There are two signs that we need to check for in order to see if our plant needs repotting. The first one is the roots. You can check the bottom of your nursery pot and if you see that many roots are coming out of the drainage holes, this is a good sign that your plant needs repotting because she needs some more space to grow. And what I would strongly recommend is that if you decide to repot her, use a pot that is gonna be maximum one to two sizes bigger. This is because we don't want to shock our plants and if we repot them in a big pot, they will not be able to absorb all the water that we give them when we're watering them and this may lead to over watering and root rot. The second sign that your plant needs repotting is that she may be in a pot that is too big for her. Our new plants may be in a very big pot and this may be too big for them. So check that the pot is not too big for your plant. It is recommended that the plant should take two thirds and the pot one third. So make sure to check and if you find that the pot is too big, you can move her to a smaller pot. Now a very big note here, always know the requirements for your plant because some plants like to be very compacted on the roots whereas others need a little bit more space. So always check before you repot your plant. Number two, clean the leaves and the stems. What I usually do when I bring a plant home is that right away I clean the leaves and the stems of my plant. This is to prevent any pest infestation. For this, I use a solution that has water, castile soap and peppermint essential oil. This one is very good to prevent pests. If you want, you can also add a little bit of neem oil which is a great natural pesticide and clean your plant thoroughly. Number three, place your plant in a quarantine space. Remember, this is a new plant that you're bringing to your collection. So you want to make sure that there are no pests or any diseases that you can spread to the other plants. So I recommend that in order to prevent this, you place your new plant in a space that is not close to the rest of your collection. And I usually do this for a couple of weeks. Then you can just observe your new plant just to make sure that she's healthy and happy. And once you confirm this, you can place her with the rest of your plants.
