Is it okay to re-pot my house plants in the winter?

I do.





Just make sure you do it inside.

Is it okay to re-pot my house plants in the winter?
I would personally do it in the early spring when the weather is warming up and they are starting to grow.Don't let the new soil mix dry out and feed them with something like liquid fish emulsion.This will get the roots goring and stabilize the plant.Keep the plant in a sheltered spot until you see signs of growth so you can give the roosts time to stabilize.
Reply:Of course it is, you are providing them with an artificial climate so they do not care - other than the change in the length of the daylight, they just live.


Be sure to wet the new potting mix tho - as if it is dry it will pull the moisture from the root ball and may dry out the roots.
Reply:Ideally any plant should be re-potted just before the new growth cycle starts, ie. in the very early spring. However, if you are careful and do not disturb the root system TOO much, you can re-pot almost any time. Make sure you do not clip off or dry out ALL of the tiny outer roots, which actually feed the plant.


The bottom line is, yes, you can.
Reply:Yes.
