Repotting Guide
By following these steps, you can successfully repot your plant, providing it with a fresh start and optimal conditions for healthy growth. Remember to monitor the plant's needs and adjust your care routine accordingly after repotting.
Step 1: REMOVE
Gently loosen the plant from its current pot by squeezing the sides or carefully tipping the plant out. If the roots are tightly bound, gently untangle them to promote healthy growth.
Step 2: MASSAGE
Give the root ball a gentle massage to remove excess soil and encourage loose, healthy roots. This helps the plant adapt to its new environment.
Step 3: PLACE
Select a new pot that is slightly larger than the original pot. A size increase of one to two inches is ideal. Avoid choosing a pot that is too large, as it can lead to waterlogging and root issues.
Step 4: FILL
Place the plant in the new pot and fill the surrounding space with fresh potting soil. Ensure the roots are adequately covered and supported, but avoid compacting the soil too tightly.
Step 5: WATER
Slowly and evenly water the plant until the pot feels heavy. This allows the water to distribute throughout the soil and hydrate the roots. Take care not to overwater, as it can lead to waterlogged soil.
