I can name u so many reasons..buying unnecessarily big bags of different kind of soiling bags..as different plants hv different soil mix requirements..I 4 once dunt hv money or space to store bags of coco choir, perlite, orchid bark , cactus soil mix ,plant soil mix etc etc...so ya would love if anyone can do it for me. Also this means researching to find out wht soil mix is required for different plants..ppl dunt hv that much knowledge or time to research on it,so letting professionals do it makes complete sense, they can also look at the root to spot any diseases nd root rot that we normal ppl wunt b able to notice
me beeing sceptic about cactus mix. . .mine is in diy self watering, very thirsty, otherwise id have to water her every day (sw window), do have clay pieces in the mix
It would depend on the health of the plant, in my experience. If the plant has been neglected, and is perhaps underwatered, the soil could become hydrophobic, meaning it has clumped up and dried out so much, that it's not going to deliever the water to the roots, and your roots are not getting enough oxygen. Same with overwatering, lack of oxygen. If a plant is not sucking up the water and seems to be over watered, it might be best to change the soil to save some roots from literally drowning. Always good to change soil when it's hydrophobic(to help lessen the chance of this happening, you should aerate the soil every now and then, to help with distribution of air, water, and nutrients. Just get a skwer stick, or something long and decently skinny to poke at the soil, gently. If you hear a few roots break, thats normal). Also, some plants need more breathable soil mixtures. Like Orchids, for example, they have Orchid bark, and usually like a chunkier mixture instead of a more compact soil like regular potting soil. African Violets and a lot of succulents prefer more acidic soil to thrive in. It really just depends on the plant.
@@rachel5399 Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my question! I really appreciate the answer and it makes a lot of sense. I tend to always repot new plants because a lot of times they come in a medium that doesn't suit them/my house environment (the orchids I bought were packed in moss so hard that they were starting to suffocate so they got an upgrade to a bark mixture) Usually tho after the first repotting I have always wondered if I need to bother removing the old soil again and you put my question to rest. Thank you!
It helps when it’s extremely pot bound because the roots have likely drained the soil of all its nutrients. If that’s the case I’d soak the root ball in water, break up as much loose soil as you can(try not to excessively damage roots),and then use the hose to gently remove as much as you can. Then just clip any dead and repot in some fresh soil.
@@Decora_Shadowolfthat happens any time I get an orchid. I’ve even bought orchids that were planted in dirt! Thankfully I managed to save one of those 2 cattleyas and it’s been growing new pseudobulbs and roots. The other one tho sadly didn’t make it
So crazy to me that people are unwilling to repot their own plants
Extra bucks for him!
Right! It’s one of my favorite parts of owning plants
Well, at least the customer did a good job of keeping that plant alive and beautiful, and some things just stress some people out more than others.

Plant customers have you do the maintenance?! That’s part of plant parenthood therapy?!?!
You know why we like it when you slap the pot
🤣
Such a pretty plant!
The mesh is a must-have IMO.
thats such a cute plant!
Wait the pay you to repot it why don’t they do it themselves like I do it all the time
He has the voice of a Pastor! I could listen all day. 😆😆😆
This was informative but the flashing words...lol, feels like it needs a flash warning.
But cute plant! I like the round leaves.
SLAP 👏🏼 THAT 👏🏼 POT!!👏🏼

You sold it a couple of years ago and your customer cant repot themselves? Is your customer a baby?
Stop hating on the man making some money!
mine is dying little by little and its getting sticking trunk
Would you ever separate a plant from its previous soil? Is there a benefit or reason to doing so?

Thought I was looking at miners lettuce
You like it, so we like when you are happy. ❤😂
Why didn’t you remove the old soil from the roots? Just curious :)
I tickled them a little, but not necessary to remove it all :) that’s about it
I'm so glad you share this ❤
nice plamt.
That’s a Chinese money tree….
Not a Pilea peperomioides?
Definitely not a money tree
Chinese money plant not tree.
Needs a bigger pot! Way too large for 6” lol at least 8”
