Your plant isn’t dying… it might just need a bigger home!
Not long ago, this summer-fruiting raspberry wasn’t looking too happy, and growth had slowed down. So we moved it into a bigger pot with fresh potting mix and waited…
And look at it now! healthy new growth and even flower buds coming through!
Quick tip: If your plant isn’t growing well, check these 3 things:
1. Check the roots. Are roots coming out of the drainage holes or tightly circling inside the pot? It might be running out of space and need a bigger home!
2. Check the soil. Is it drying out too quickly, becoming compacted or staying soggy? Old potting mix can lose its structure over time. Fresh, well-draining mix can make a big difference.
3. Check your watering. Too little water can slow growth, but too much can damage the roots. Water thoroughly when needed and make sure excess water can drain away.
Sometimes a little change in care is all your plant needs to bounce back 🪴
Save this for your next repotting day!
