I'll chime in again. Just a couple of things I do, I try to repot almost all my plants about once a year. Basically pull them out of the pot, and if the roots aren't completely filled in yet, I tap the root ball and remove some excess mix, typically about a third to half, mostly on the bottom where it's more sludgy and mucky. I then will repot the plant with fresh peat and a generous amount of perlite (10-20%) and holly tone fertilizer for good drainage and soil acidity, which seems to keep them healthier. I use excess soil removed from repotted plants for garden raised bed filler or mulching plants outside.
