Should I transfer my houseplants to larger pots?


Question:I have some small house plants in 4" pots (christmas cactus, jade). I do NOT have a green thumb, but I seem to remember that they will grow fuller if they have more room to grow. It just seems like an awfully big jump to a 6" pot.

I am kinda' clueless about plants, so any tips you have would be greatly appreciated !!

Answers:
Yes, Honey, put them in an eight inch pot, so the roots will have room to spread and grow, and it will bloom real pretty for you come christmas time!!!


Plants that need to be put in larger pots are root bound, so that be your guide.
Look on www.marthastewartliving.com she has real good advice.
yes, only go up to the next size pot. you will know if the plant is ready to transplant if you see the roots over the top or if you pull it up and can see the roots
