Get App If a plant’s roots are growing out of the pot, the soil is very compacted, or you haven’t repotted in a while, it’s probably a good time to do so. 1 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App To get started, choose a pot that is 1”-2” larger in diameter from the current pot. The plant won’t want too much or too little extra space. 2 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Gather your supplies and tools and begin by covering the drainage hole with a shard of pottery or a stone. We’ve heard coffee filters also work well. 3 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App If the pot you’ve chosen doesn’t have a drainage hole, and you don’t trust your restraint in watering, add an inch or so of loose gravel to the pot. @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Next, add a layer of soil to the planter - just enough to give the plant a lift once you place it in. 4 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Place the plant in the pot. The top of the root ball should be close to the lip of the pot - if it’s too low, add more soil to the bottom layer. 5 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Use your fingers to gently loosen the roots of the plant. Don’t get too aggressive! 6 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Once you have the plant in place, fill in with more soil around the edges of the pot. Don’t burry the base of the plant too deeply. 7 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Finish by lightly tamping the soil. Try to fill in any air pockets, but don’t press too hard. The roots like the soil to be light. @tendgreenpoint on

Get App Our favorite tip: clean up before watering! 8 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App If the soil is dry, water your plant! All that new soil will make it harder to tell if the plant needs water. Always check the soil first. 9 @tendgreenpoint on

Get App You’re done! Place your plant in its optimal light condition and set a reminder on your phone to check it regularly for watering and pruning. EASY! 10 @tendgreenpoint on
