Shock From Root Disturbance Repotting often stresses the roots, leading to shock, which can weaken the plant and cause it to die if not handled gently.
Improper Soil Using the wrong type of soil for your plant's specific needs, such as too dense or too loose soil, can prevent proper root growth and drainage.
Too Large of a Pot Repotting into a pot that is too large for the plant can lead to water retention around the roots, causing root rot and plant death.
. Overwatering After repotting, the plant's roots may be more susceptible to overwatering, leading to waterlogged soil and rotting roots that harm the plant.
Inadequate Drainage If the new pot lacks proper drainage holes, it can cause water to accumulate at the bottom, suffocating the roots and leading to root rot.
Wrong Timing Repotting at the wrong time of year, especially during the plant’s dormancy, can disrupt its natural growth cycle and cause stress or death.
Not Enough Light After repotting, your plant may be more sensitive to environmental conditions, and insufficient light can hinder its recovery and lead to decline.
Fertilizer Overload Introducing too much fertilizer immediately after repotting can burn the roots and leaves, stunting the plant's growth or even killing it.
