      How Do I Repot My Plant?

      Steps for repotting a houseplant

      Materials Needed:

      • Potting mix suited to the plant
      • Pot
      • Water
      • Gloves
      • Sense of humor (Helpful but not required)

      Steps:

      1. Prepare: Choose the right pot and potting mix. Layer a bit of mix at the pot's bottom.
      2. Remove Plant: Squeeze pot sides to loosen roots. Tilt and gently remove plant.
      3. Check Roots: Assess root condition. Loosen root ball if necessary.
      4. Repot: Place plant in new pot, fill spaces with soil without packing it down.
      5. Water: Pour water until it drains from pot holes, ensuring even moisture.

      Tip: Leave space between soil and pot rim to avoid overflow.
       
      Note: Hold off on fertilizing until spring if repotting in fall.
