Refresh your houseplants with repotting basics, winter care tips, and guidance for some of the most popular indoor plants.

Houseplants work hard all year to bring life and color indoors, and winter is a great time to check in on their health. This class is designed to help plant owners understand when repotting is needed, how to do it properly, and how to support their plants during the colder months.

We’ll start with general houseplant care tips, including light, watering habits, and recognizing signs of stress. From there, we’ll focus on winter-specific considerations like slower growth, adjusting watering routines, and managing dry indoor air.

The main portion of the class will walk through repotting fundamentals, including choosing the right pot size, selecting appropriate soil, and handling roots with care. We’ll discuss and demonstrate repotting techniques for several common houseplants, such as pothos, snake plants, philodendrons, and peace lilies, while sharing tips that can be applied to many other varieties.

Key Topics to be Covered:

• General houseplant care basics
• Signs a plant needs repotting
• Winter care adjustments for indoor plants
• Soil and pot selection
• Repotting common houseplants
• Supporting plant health after repotting

This class is ideal for anyone looking to build confidence with houseplant care, refresh overgrown plants, or simply learn best practices to keep indoor plants healthy and thriving year-round.
