Common Repotting Mistake: Planting too Deep

When repotting houseplants, many people make the mistake of planting too low in the pot. When you plant too low in the pot, you create an overly humid situation at the base of the plant that can cause root rot to set in. Planting too low also attracts plant pests, most of which like it when there is no air circulation and conditions are humid. This video shows you what level to plant your houseplant. You want the plant potted about a ¼ of an inch low in the pot—not any farther and not any higher.
