How To: Repot a Plant

Repotting a plant is essential to keeping your plant healthy and thriving.
This is for when your plant is way too big for its pot. The plant that I will be
repotting is my spiderplant that's been growing in a dark corner of my
bedroom still growing. Here's a picture of it:


Before starting this task, a few materials will be needed and those are:

Soil
plastic bag (can be a grocery bag)
shovel
new container
few plants to add in (optional)


Once you got all of the materials gathered, you can start:

Step 1:  lay out plastic bag and place the plant on it

Step 2: remove the plant from its old container

Step 3: Loosen the root systems and remove any
unhealthy roots


Step 4: fill up about 1/3 of the new container with soil

Step 5: place the plant in the new container


Step 6: add a little soil around the root system

Step 7: add the smaller plants in plant them in
securely not showing any roots


Step 8:  fill soil in any empty places around the
plants and then water throughly

You're Done, Congratulations you successfully
repotted your plant, here's the finished product:D
