When to Repot Cat Palm and Peace Lily

General Rule

Repot when the plant shows slight stress signs: slowed growth, roots circling drainage holes, soil drying too fast, or salt crust on pot exterior.

Proactive Schedule

• Annual soil refresh prevents fertilizer salt buildup.
• Cat palm (Chamaedorea cataractarum): repot every 1–2 years.
• Peace lily (Spathiphyllum): repot when root-bound or annually.

Technique

1. Water well before repotting.
2. Loosen root ball gently.
3. Use fresh, quality potting mix.
4. Pot up one size; add drainage layer.

Don't wait for severe decline; early repotting maintains vigor.
