Taylor and Jeff, a couple who loves gardening and taking care of their houseplants, recently decided to repot their fiddle leaf fig tree. In an article on their website, they shared their experience and provided helpful tips for others who may be considering repotting their own fiddle leaf fig.
The couple began by explaining that repotting is necessary when a houseplant outgrows its current pot or when the soil becomes compacted and drains poorly.
To begin the process, Taylor and Jeff first gathered all the necessary tools and materials. These included a larger pot with drainage holes, fresh potting soil, a tarp or newspaper for easy cleanup, and gloves to protect their hands.
Next, they carefully removed the fiddle leaf fig from its old pot, gently loosening the roots with their hands. They advised being extra gentle with the roots as they can be delicate and sensitive to damage.
Once the plant was free from its old pot, they took the opportunity to inspect the roots. Any damaged or rotten roots were trimmed off to promote new growth. They also noted that if the plant had become root-bound, where the roots are tightly packed in a circular pattern, they gently loosened the roots to help them spread out in the new pot.
After preparing the plant, Taylor and Jeff turned their attention to the new pot.
