Repotting without the panic

Repot when roots circle the bottom or water runs straight through. Spring and early summer are easiest, because the plant is growing.
Choose a pot about 2–5 cm wider than the old one, always with a drainage hole. A pot that’s too big holds wet soil the roots can’t reach.
Loosen the root ball gently, set it at the same depth as before, fill around with fresh mix and water once. Then leave it alone for a week.
