How to Change Pots in Plant Nanny

If you are an avid plant parent, maintaining your plant's health is paramount. A significant part of that involves changing the pot of the plant once it outgrows its current container. In this article, we have put together a comprehensive guide on how to change pots in Plant Nanny.

Step 1: Choose the right pot

The first step in changing pots for your Plant Nanny is selecting the right pot. Look for a container that is one size larger than the current container the plant is in. The new pot should have drainage holes at the bottom to allow water to drain freely, preventing the roots from rotting.

Step 2: Prepare the pot

Before planting your Plant Nanny in the new pot, prepare it by adding a layer of soil at the bottom. This layer allows for proper drainage and prevents soil from accumulating at the bottom. Fill the pot halfway with soil while leaving room for your plant.

Step 3: Water the Plant Nanny

Water your Plant Nanny 24 hours before planting them in the new pot. This helps the roots stay hydrated and minimizes the stress they may experience when transplanting.

Step 4: Gently remove the plant

Remove your Plant Nanny from its current container by gently tilting it while holding by the stem. If it doesn't come out, gently loosen the root ball and the soil around it with your fingers. Be careful not to damage the roots.

Step 5: Repotting

After removing the plant from the old pot, place it in the new pot you prepared earlier. Ensure the plant is at the same height as it was in the old pot, and fill the remaining space around the plant with soil. Gently tap the pot to allow the soil to settle and pick up the pot to check if there are any air pockets. If there are, add more soil and repeat the process until there are no air pockets left.

Step 6: Water the Plant Nanny Again

Once you have finished repotting, water the plant, allow it to drain, and cut off any dead, damaged, and discolored leaves the plant has. This helps the Plant Nanny focus all its energy on Acclimatising to its new environment.

Conclusion

Changing pots for your Plant Nanny is crucial to ensure they grow healthy and have enough space for their roots to grow. Following these simple steps helps to minimize transplantation shock and keeps your Plant Nanny healthy and thriving.
