Help transplanting hoya

11 years ago

I've had this 20+ yrs. and it's never been repotted. the hanger broke this summer and I need to put it in another pot so I can hang it in the house this winter.

I'm soo afraid of killing it. So I need your help.

Would you just put pot and all in another pot or cut the old pot away and TRY to get it in a new pot???? I'm sure it's really root bound but seems to like it!

It's very happy where it is!!

Thanks for any help!

If it aint broke, don't fix it. Just put in another pot. :)

I would buy a little bigger pot, line it with some fresh soil and just pull the rootball out and set it in the new pot without disturbing the roots. It'll give it a little more room for the roots, but if you don't disturb the rootball, you don't risk shocking it. Then give it a little fresh top-dressing - maybe even some worm castings would be great.
