<v 0>Repotting is an important aspect of taking care of plants and know it's not just</v>

2
00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:06.060
about transplanting into a pretty container.

3
00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:08.880
Here's how to know when to repot your plants rapid fire.

4
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.970
Here are the signs you need to repot your plant. One telltale sign.

5
00:00:11.975 --> 00:00:13.440
Roots are coming out of the bottom.

6
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:17.070
If you start to notice a lot of white mineral buildup on the top of your soil,

7
00:00:17.075 --> 00:00:20.850
when the plant develops a lot of new growth, excessive yellowing and shedding,

8
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.930
if the plant has grown taller than the pot doubled, even tripled in size,

9
00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:27.060
or grown too close to the edge of the pot,

10
00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:30.930
the new pot doesn't need to be much bigger, just an inch two of extra space.

11
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.130
If the pot doesn't have drainage,

12
00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:34.050
you'll want to fill the bottom with porous rock.

13
00:00:34.055 --> 00:00:37.920
Fresh soil has a tendency to fall through that hole to keep things tidy.

14
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.840
You can add a coffee filter to the bottom. Now,

15
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.610
this is the whole purpose of repotting.

16
00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:44.880
You want to get those roots into fresh nutrient dense soil.

17
00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:47.820
Try to get rid of as much of that old dirt as you can.

18
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:51.450
Break up those roots a little bit, and welcome to your new room.

19
00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:55.051
To contain that mess, you can always lay down some butcher paper or trash bag.

20
00:00:55.056 --> 00:00:58.770
Don't fill the soil all the way up to the rim. You wanna leave some space?

21
00:00:58.770 --> 00:01:00.690
Don't worry about fertilizing. First thing.

22
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:03.030
That fresh soil has plenty of nutrients.
