This means that the plant must be lifted out
with the soil in place. How is this done? Well
there are two ways. The first way is that one
does not need to remove the plant from the
smaller pot at all. All you have to do is cut
away the base of the small pot and place this
pot into the bigger pot of soil. The roots will
grow down through the bottom hole of the old
pot and into the new one. The roots will always
find their way down. The other way is too make
sure that the soil is very dry. Delay watering
your plant for a couple of days and let the
soil settle hard. Then you can use a clean
knife to cut around the inside of the pot. Cut
deep, but do not damage the roots. When you
have done this push your fingers down into the
side and lift the plant and soil out. You will
have some breakaway soil but this does not
matter, as long there is not too much of it
lost. Quickly place the plant into the larger
pot and fill with soil. Give your plant some
water so that it will take to the new soil.
Never ever try to lift your plant by the stem.
Even though the stem may look safe and strong
this nearly always causes problems down the
line. You should always have a firm grip of the
soil when transplanting. Some people like to
