When is the best time to repot my bird of paradise plant?

Our Advice:

The best time to repot is in spring just as the new surge of growth starts. Ideally they need to be re-potted every second year into a slightly larger pot each time. Use a peat-based multipurpose potting compost and water well to settle the compost around the roots.
