Repotting Plants from Nursery: Simple Guide & Best Tips.

Okay, here’s my blog post about repotting plants, written in the style you requested:

So, I finally got around to repotting some of the plants I bought a while back. They were still in those flimsy plastic pots from the nursery, and honestly, they looked kinda sad. Plus, I figured they were probably getting root-bound. Time for an upgrade!

Repotting Plants from Nursery: Simple Guide & Best Tips.

Getting Started

First, I gathered all my supplies. This is key, people! You don’t wanna be running around mid-project looking for stuff. Here’s what I had:

  • New pots (obviously!). I went with terracotta ones because they look nice and they’re breathable.
  • Potting soil. I just grabbed a big bag of the regular stuff.
  • A trowel. For scooping, you know?
  • Gardening gloves. Because I don’t like dirt under my fingernails.
  • Some water.

The Dirty Work

Then came the messy part. I laid down some newspaper on my patio table to keep things (relatively) clean. Then, one by one, I took each plant out of its old pot. This can be a little tricky. Sometimes I had to squeeze the sides of the plastic pot to loosen things up. A couple of times, I even had to give the bottom of the pot a good whack to get the plant to come out.

Once the plant was out, I gently teased apart the roots a bit. If they were really circling around the bottom, I loosened them up so they could spread out in the new pot. I think this is called “tickling the roots,” to make them be stimulated.

New Homes

Next, I put a little bit of soil in the bottom of the new pot. Then, I centered the plant in the pot and filled in around the sides with more soil. I made sure not to pack the soil down too hard. Plants need to breathe, too!

I put some soil to make it a bit higher than the previous soil line.

Finishing Touches

After all the plants were in their new homes, I gave them a good watering. I just used a watering can and made sure the water soaked all the way through. And that’s it!

Honestly, it wasn’t that hard. It took maybe an hour, and now my plants look so much happier. Plus, it’s kind of satisfying to get your hands dirty every once in a while. If your plants are looking a little cramped, I definitely recommend giving repotting a try!
