Repotting Plants: Golden Pothos

Summer's officially here! This is the first weekend of summer so I did repotting of a golden pothos plant. I could tell that it needed repotting because it was wilting continuously and many roots that were coming out of the bottom of the growers pot so here it is:

Once I had my materials including the plant itself, a larger pot and new potting soil, I started this task. First step is to remove the plant from its pot which sometimes can be a little difficult if it is root- bound; if this happens you can just cut open the growers pot.

After that you have the plant removed from the pot, you can see all of the roots of the plant that were so squished into the previous pot. Next step is to loosen the root system or untangle them a bit to ensure that the plant can successfully grow into the new pot.

After untangling the root system, now its time to position the plant into its new container and make sure that it is secure by putting another layer of potting soil around the top and perimeter of the root system.

Now that everything is in its place, you can give it a thorough watering and let the excess water drain out of the pot and place the plant back into its original location, like my place that is close to a window.

Here's the finished product, where all of your work pays off! And this is a fun task to do also and let the plant grow and grow into a larger plant!
