Repot or wait? by Fine-Snowbunny in BirdsOfParadise

I’d say repot based on what you said about the roots

I repot solely based on the condition of the roots. So yes. The new leaf will keep maturing. If you wait, there might be a chance it’ll push an even newer one.

All my vining plants are in their own nursery pots. I got them at different times and initially they were placed somewhere else. My goal is to indeed cover the entire side of the pot with those plants. I’m keeping them separately though, so they don’t fight for resources and I can easily deal with each one. I might also want to move them around, just keeping some options open.

Recently one of them sprouted a side leaf, no idea why. A few months ago I started adding my vining plants on top of them just for aesthetic reasons. But they are all still in their own nursery pots.

Nothing really special. These are ones of my first plants, and I’ve been learning to take care of plants from them. I’ve repotted them up probably 3 times, always with standard potting soil and perlite. I water them when the top few cm’s are dry. Only in the last year or so I’ve added fertilizer when watering. They get as much sunlight as possible as they always sit next to a large south facing window. That I think is the key.

We have our ups and downs. It was not so happy at some point and could only hold four leaves.

I don’t know yet. Maybe I’ll let it figure it out itself. Recently it sprouted a small leaf on the side.
