Don’t repot plants in winter: The common mistake that harms houseplants

Winter signals houseplants to enter a dormant phase, requiring less water and nutrients. Avoid repotting during this time, as it can stress vulnerable roots. Instead, focus on gentle soil aeration, pruning damaged leaves, and watering only when the top two inches of soil are dry to ensure plant health and a strong spring return.
