repotting article in No-Stress Plant Repotting

By Xeramtheum

Many years ago I totally changed the way I repotted plants that don’t like their roots disturbed and I have never lost a plant since. Since then I have repotted all of my plants this way. When I start seeing roots coming out the bottom, I know it’s time to repot.

You're welcome! I also use this method when putting plants into the ground as well.

Thanks so much for this tip! I have killed more plants from repotting than any other thing. This makes so much sense.

Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

You're welcome .. this method has virtually ended any plant stress from repotting for me too.
