To repot a plant, prepare a new pot, one or two sizes larger than the previous one, some good quality fresh soil suitable for the type of plant you are repotting and expanded clay.<\/p>\n
Lightly moisten the soil in the current pot, tilt it and gently extract the plant. If the clod of earth is very compact and the pot is made of plastic you can also tap it on the outside to help it expel.<\/p>\n
If the clod is too compact once extracted break it with a metal trowel being careful not to break the roots. If necessary, help yourself by immersing the clod in a bucket of water.<\/p>\n
With the pot empty, fill 1\/6 of the base with expanded clay. Throw in a nice layer of soil on which you will place the plant with its clod.<\/p>\n
Now add the slow-release fertilizer and also a little mixed fertilizer such as peat, hornbeam or worm castings.<\/p>\n
Place the plant in the new pot, so that the neck of the plant is two centimeters below the edge of the pot. If it is lower, remove the plant and put more soil underneath to fill the difference.<\/p>\n
If the plant is, for some reason, ‘bare root’, that is, with the roots free from the soil, before inserting it into the pot, a mound must be made on which the center of the plant will rest with the roots well distributed in a cascade around it.<\/p>\n
Fill around the plant with soil, making sure that it is well compacted around the roots and at a similar level to the previous one.<\/p>\n
Irrigate it with water and liquid fertilizer.<\/p>\n
The video shows you what we explained above because seeing is clearer than any explanation.<\/p>\n
A simple, step-by-step method for repotting a medium-sized plant in a normal pot. We thus exclude plants in very large pots and cacti and succulents that will have a separate video.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the show and happy repotting!!<\/p>\n
Now get on with it! The work awaits us! Our new, wonderful outdoor space is about to be born!<\/p>\n
