Houseplants that like being pot-bound – 8 indoor plants that don't need repotting too often

Houseplants that like being pot-bound.

Repotting your houseplants is an essential care task to keep them happy. Moving them into a larger home gives the roots more room to grow and provides your plants with a boost of fresh nutrients.

However, it can be easy to forget to repot your plants - often a common indoor plant mistake which leaves houseplants with yellowing foliage and stunted growth. This often leads to plants becoming pot-bound, or root-bound, which refers to the plant's roots wrapping around each other multiple times until they become hard and cause the plant to become trapped in its pot.
