Okay, so, I’ve been meaning to repot some of my plants for a while now. They were getting a little too big for their old pots, you know? And I finally got around to doing it today. First, I gathered all my supplies. Needed some new pots, fresh potting soil, a little trowel, and some gloves, ’cause I didn’t want to get my hands too dirty.
Getting Started
I started with my snake plant. This thing has been growing like crazy! I carefully loosened the soil around the edges of the old pot with my trowel and then gently pulled the plant out. It was pretty root-bound, poor thing.
Repotting Time
- I took the new pot, which was a couple of inches bigger than the old one, and put a little bit of fresh soil at the bottom.
- Then, I placed the snake plant in the new pot and started filling in the sides with more soil.
- I made sure to press down gently to get rid of any air pockets.
Finishing Up
After I got the snake plant settled, I watered it thoroughly. I did the same thing with a few other plants, like my spider plant and my ZZ plant. They all look so much happier now in their new homes! It’s actually pretty satisfying to see them with some room to grow. I cleaned up my mess, swept the floor, and now I have some happy plants. Really made my day!
