FAQ About Indoor Plant Stress Responses

How can repotting cause stress to indoor plants?
Repotting can stress indoor plants by disturbing their roots, especially if it's done improperly or too frequently. Symptoms may include wilting or dropping leaves. To minimize repotting stress, ensure that the new pot is just one size larger and provide similar soil conditions as before. Water the plant after repotting and avoid fertilizing immediately to give it time to acclimate.
