The process of transferring a Ficus lyrata from its current container to a larger one is a necessary aspect of its care. This action addresses issues like root-bound conditions, depleted soil nutrients, and the need for increased physical support as the plant matures.
Repotting promotes vigorous growth, prevents root suffocation, and allows for improved water absorption. It replenishes essential minerals in the soil, vital for the plant’s overall health and resilience. Furthermore, providing a larger pot accommodates the expanding root system, reducing the likelihood of the plant becoming unstable and prone to tipping.
