When is the best time to repot my peace lily plant?


Our Advice:

The plant will tell you when it needs re-potting as you will see roots emerge from the pot. The ideal time for the plant is in the spring as the new growth starts, using a peat-based multipurpose compost and a slightly bigger pot. Water regularly and avoid feeding for a few months until the fertiliser in the fresh compost has been used.
