Tips - Indoor Plants |
| Has your plant become too
large for its pot? Need a little project to relieve your "Winter Garden
Fever"? Winter is a good time to transplant indoor plants. |
- Use a sharp knife to loosen around the edges of the pot.
- Gently remove your plant.
- Prune any dead or damaged roots from the plant.
- Choose a new pot 1"-2" larger in diameter than the former
pot.
- Add some form of drainage to the bottom of the pot - e.g., gravel
or rocks.
- Add several inches of new sterile potting soil to the bottom of the
pot.
- Place your plant into the pot and fill in around with soil to the
rim of the pot and tap down.
- Gently add warm water until it runs out the bottom of the pot.
- Place your plant in a low-light vicinity for a week or so to give
it a chance to readjust before moving it to its former location.
- Start adding a liquid organic fertilizer again in several weeks.
