If your houseplants have not been repotted for a while (over a year) it's a good time to move them into a larger pot. The general rule of thumb we use when repotting plants is to increase the pot size 30 Ð 40 %. For example, if your plant is currently in a 10" pot, we'd recommend moving it to a 14" pot. A 12" pot, to a 16" pot, and so on.
The type of soil you use is very important, and will be a leading factor in how well your plant grows. A potting soil is best for most houseplants. We recommend a high-quality potting soil such as Fafard Potting Soil or Moo Grow.
Don't be surprised if your plant drops a few leaves after repotting. Any drastic change to a plant will cause it to go into shock to some degree. Fertilize it with the appropriate feed and just keep giving it the care it needs and it will bounce back healthier than ever.
