Knowing when to move your plants from charming but small urban planter boxes into larger homes is key to their long-term health. Look for these clear indicators. First, check for roots growing out of the drainage holes or circling densely at the soil surface—a classic sign of being root-bound. Second, notice if water drains through the pot almost immediately without being absorbed; this means roots have taken over the soil space. Third, observe if your plant dries out unusually fast, needing constant watering. Fourth, stunted growth or smaller new leaves despite proper care can signal cramped roots. Finally, if the plant becomes top-heavy and easily tips over, it's outgrown its base. For a successful move, choose a new container only 1-2 inches larger in diameter, use fresh potting mix, and water thoroughly after repotting to help reduce transplant shock. Your urban greenery will thank you with renewed vigor.
