FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Pruning Techniques

How do I perform root pruning on an indoor plant?

To perform root pruning, gently remove the plant from its pot and loosen the root ball. Use sterilized pruning shears to cut away one-third of the outer root mass, primarily focusing on larger, thicker roots. Replant using fresh potting mix and a pot that suits the plant’s size, water well, and monitor for stress.
