About Repot Refresh
Your plants, given room to grow.
Repot Refresh started with a simple idea. Lots of people love their houseplants but put off repotting. It's messy, the soil bags are heavy, and it's hard to know which mix each plant needs.
So we bring it all to you. Every plant gets a soil blend made for it, roots are gently teased and trimmed, and everything is done over waterproof tarps. When we leave, the only sign we were there is happier plants.
We work across Christchurch, from a single Pothos on a windowsill to a towering Fiddle Leaf Fig in the lounge. If you'd rather, you can bring your plants to us.
The Repot Refresh team
How it works
Four simple steps to a fresh start
Booking is easy, and the work is done quickly and carefully.
We come to you
We arrive with tarps, tools and soil, free within Christchurch city. Or drop your plants off with us.
Repot & refresh
We loosen roots, trim any rot, mix custom soil and settle each plant into its new home.
Spotless clean-up
Tarps are packed away and the work area is vacuumed. You also get care tips for the weeks ahead.
Why Repot Refresh
Care that starts at the roots
Premium soil blends
Aroid mixes, succulent grit and fern blends made up on the spot with bark, perlite, coir and charcoal. No generic bagged potting mix.
Everything brought to you
Soil, tools, tarps and pots if you need them. Travel is free within Christchurch city, and a small fee applies to outer zones.
Healthier, longer-lived plants
Fresh soil restores drainage and nutrients, and root care prevents rot. Plants respond with new growth within weeks.
What's in the pot
Layers built for healthy roots
Our logo shows how we build each pot, layer by layer. Each layer has a job: holding moisture, letting air reach the roots, or draining away excess water.

Orchid bark chunks
Creates air pockets so roots can breathe and won't rot.

Is it time?
Signs your plant needs a repot
Most houseplants need fresh soil every 12–24 months. Look out for:
- Roots poking out of the drainage holes or circling the surface
- Water runs straight through, or sits on top without soaking in
- Growth has stalled or leaves are yellowing despite good care
- The plant is top-heavy and tips over easily
- Soil has shrunk away from the pot edges or smells sour
- Fungus gnats keep returning
The Clean Floor Guarantee
We work entirely over heavy-duty, waterproof snap-tarps and vacuum the work zone before we leave. No soil on the carpet and no muddy footprints.
