One, note the timing

Repotting a pothos is not greatly restricted by timing; it can be repotted in all four seasons of the year. However, to keep the damage to the plant small and to help it settle in faster after repotting, it is best to choose a period with a mild climate - spring is best, and autumn also works. Repotting is not recommended in summer and winter. In summer the temperature is too high and water evaporates very quickly, so if the roots happen to be damaged, a large amount of water will be lost. In winter the temperature is rather low, making it hard for the plant to settle in.

Two, choosing the pot and soil

When repotting it, be careful to choose a suitable flower pot and soil. The pot should be a little larger than before, so that it can better accommodate the pothos' growth, improve its vigor, and allow the roots to spread normally; a ceramic pot or a purple clay pot can be chosen. The soil should be prepared in advance; a mix of leaf mold, sandy soil, garden soil and the like can be used, as long as the soil used is loose, breathable and nutrient-rich.

Three, removing it from the pot

Stop watering it a few days in advance and keep the soil dry, so that the soil separates from the walls of the pot. Move it to an open area, take the pothos plant out of the flower pot, remove the stale soil and old soil attached to the roots, keep the soil around the heart of the root ball, and cut off the dead roots, old roots and overly dense roots.

Four, planting it in the pot

Place small stones at the bottom of the flower pot, fill in the soil, then dig a small hole, plant the pothos into it, cover it with soil and press it down gently, keep it in a cool, ventilated place, and water it lightly to replenish moisture.
