Hi folks ![]()
I’ve got a question. What’s your take on the topic: Touching/ Moving/ Lifting the pot.
Isn’t that too much stress for the plant?
After all, it’s still a sensitive plant.
Wouldn’t it be better to disturb it only when necessary?
I’m curious about your opinions.

Depends. What are you moving? Where are you moving it to? Are you completely changing its environment? Taking it out of your primary medium of soil or ground or whatever it’s in? Simply moving the pot isn’t a big deal unless you’re MOVING the pot…
So, I actually moved with my plants a good 2 months ago. During their growth and also while some were flowering.
They all survived.
Then a garbage bag went over them for the ride, and off we went. Here, they also had to stand by the window for a few days until everything was set up again.
So.
If you do it well, it doesn’t bother them to be turned in the pot or to be taken out of the tent to work on them better.
I would have thought that moving it a lot and then, for example, tapping the bag from the inside, is rather not so good. But thanks. Then it should work out. ![]()
I move stuff around all the time and they never seem to care
Okay, I don’t even dare to touch the plant. ![]()
These plants are a lot more resilient than most people give them credit for and can take a surprising amount of disruption as long as you don’t mess with their light
If you saw the way I handle my plants you would worry about it a lot less lol
No problem, I got this ![]()
Throwing my hands up in disbelief. ![]()

These plants aren’t very sensitive. They are quite tough and resilient to be honest. I had one outside on a table when I was working on it. A huge gust of wind knocked it off the table. I had broken branches and a bunch of soil came out of the grow bag. Shoved the soil back in the best I could and taped all the broken branches still holding on albeit only by a thread. Everything healed and the plant survived just fine and healed nicely. I wouldn’t worry about really harming the plant, unless you destroy it intentionally it will keep growing. It’s more nutrients, heat and light that are more the issue when not dialed in.
You forgot the water ![]()
But yes. That’s true just how you said.
I did forget water. Having blumats definitely made me forget about watering.
Because I was always too overly cautious. I made sure as best as I could not even to touch her if possible. Let alone always lifting the pot to weigh it.
