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. [View the item] |

| You're welcome! I also use this method when putting plants into the ground as well. "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. " Abraham Lincoln |

| 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. "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.
