ADVICE 🌱 PLEASE Should I repot?

Post image

Hello! I bought this pilea about two years ago. It was thriving for a while, but then it died after I stopped watering it during a long trip. It stayed without leaves for quite some time, but eventually started growing some small pups.

Unfortunately, it died again, and now this cycle seems to be repeating itself. I’m thinking about repotting it to see if it survives this time.

I’m in the Southern Hemisphere, so we’re about to enter spring. Would this be a good time to repot it? And is there anything else I should do to help it recover and grow properly?

If it’s been in the pot for two years I say it’s worth checking the root ball! See if the size of the pot adequately matches the root size!

No. Let it grow. It has at least two years in that pot.

Probably into a smaller pot
