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] |

| 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.
