Water heavily, drench them, right after you repot. The water on the surface will evaporate relatively quickly, but moisture will still be trapped in the deeper soil… so that’s where the roots will do. You’ll be encouraging deep, healthy roots that anchor the plant AND provide it more access to water and nutrients.

When should I move my plants to bigger pots?

It’s usually best to repot plants in spring, but if the plant is really not thriving and is suffering from the lack of space, then go ahead and repot when it needs it. When a plant gets pot -bound or root-bound, the roots start going around and around inside the pot, forming a tightly woven ball.

Lay a piece of polythene by the side of the plant or shrub. Then dig widely around the base, trying not to damage the root system too much. Get as much of the root ball out as you possibly can. Push a spade well underneath the root ball, then carefully lift the whole plant onto the polythene.

Should I remove fan leaves during flowering?

Yes you should – but with the correct technique. A proper thinning will remove 20-40% of the mid to upper foliage every 5-7 days. Removing these fan leaves opens up light and produces better air exchange to the lower canopy.
