Potting Your Plants: How To Pot or Report the Plant!

Now that you have your pot and potting soil ready, it’s time to pot up your plant. Here’s a step-by-step instruction on how to pot a plant:

Choose The Potting Spot

It’s important to pot your plant in a spot that’s bright and gets sunlight.

Measure The Pot Size

Dig out the plant with a trowel or shovel if necessary. If you’re potting up something larger, use a spade to dig it out first.

Prepare Your Plant

Take out any stakes or ties holding your plants together. Remove any dead leaves, spent flowers, and branches from old-growth.

Water Your Plant Before Potting It

Make sure the pot is well-watered before potting up your plant. If you’ve just transplanted it, then soak it for about an hour or so and let the water drain out completely afterward.

Remove The Plant From Its Pot

Take the pot off your plant and remove any excess soil around it. If you notice that there’re many old roots, simply cut them away with sharp shears.

Put Your Plant Into The New Potted Container

Place your plants into the pot. If you’re potting up something larger, place it in first and surround it with potting soil to help support its weight.

Place The Plant Soil Around It

Fill your pot halfway with potting soil before putting the plant onto it. Make sure there’re no air pockets left around your plant roots when potting.

Cover The Roots With More Soil & Water Your Plant

Fill the pot with potting soil around your plants’ roots and water it well to moisten up the potting soil. After that, you’re done potting or repotting.
