If your plant is looking a little droopy or you’ve noticed roots peeking out of the drainage holes, it might be craving some extra space. Repotting is one of the best things you can do to support your plant’s health—and doing it during the active growing season sets it up for success.

Let’s dig into why this is the ideal time to repot, how to do it the right way, and why our Repotting Mat will become your new best friend during the process.

Spring and summer bring more sunlight, warmth, and energy—making it the perfect time for plants to bounce back from any shock caused by repotting. During this time, your plant is in “growth mode,” meaning it can quickly establish new roots and adapt to its fresh environment.

Repotting into nutrient-rich soil also gives your plant better drainage, improved aeration, and the boost it needs to grow taller, fuller, and stronger. It's also a great way to address root rot, compacted soil, or nutrient depletion. Think of it like giving your plant a reset button!

Messy countertops? Soil in the cracks of your hardwood? Not anymore. Our Repotting Mat was designed to make indoor gardening cleaner, easier, and more enjoyable.

Made from durable, water-resistant material, it keeps soil, water, and fertilizer contained while you work. Simply lay it flat, fold up the corners with the snap buttons, and repot away. When you’re done, give it a rinse or shake it out, fold it up, and store it with your garden supplies—easy peasy. Whether you're repotting a tiny succulent or your towering fiddle leaf fig, it’s a game-changer.

Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:

1. Choose the right pot – Pick one that's 1–2 inches larger in diameter than the current one, with proper drainage.

2. Protect your workspace – Lay out Arber's Repotting Mat to keep your workspace clean and organized.

3. Loosen the root ball – Gently remove your plant and tease out the roots, trimming any dead or rotted areas.

4. Add fresh soil – Use a nutrient-rich mix and optionally mix in Arber’s Soil & Root Boost for an extra boost.

5. Place the plant and fill in – Set your plant in the center and fill in around it with soil, pressing lightly.

6. Water thoroughly – Let the water soak through and drain out completely.

7. Give it time – Place your plant in bright, indirect light and let it settle into its new space.

Repotting isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a major part of plant health. Doing it during the growing season helps minimize stress and maximize growth. Plus, with the right tools (like our Repotting Mat), it can be a satisfying, mess-free ritual that both you and your plants look forward to.
