INFORMATION​

There are many reasons for repotting your plant: the roots are already growing out of the pot or rotting, your plant has too many offshoots, and not to forget: it comes straight from the store and is still sitting in growing soil. A good base is important for the growth and health of your plant. We show you in eight short steps how to repot correctly.
