Repotting Without the Mess: A Step-by-Step Guide
When a plant needs a bigger pot, how to tell, and how to move it without losing half the soil on the floor. Most of it comes down to paying attention: a plant tells you what it needs well before it is in trouble.
Light is food
A plant in a dark corner cannot make up for it with feed or attention. Most houseplants want to see the sky from where they sit; move a struggling plant closer to the window before doing anything else.
Mind the humidity
Tropical plants come from air far damper than a heated room. Group them together, stand them on a tray of wet pebbles, or give them a spot in the bathroom.
