  1. 1
    Wait until rootbound — almost
    You want a tight root ball that holds shape, but you don't want roots circling the bottom.
  2. 2
    Water lightly 24 hours before
    Moist soil holds shape and reduces breakage.
  3. 3
    Pre-fill the new pot
    Make a depression the size of the old pot. Wet the new soil so it doesn't pull moisture from the root ball.
  4. 4
    Pop and place
    Squeeze and tip — never pull by stem. Drop in the new hole. Backfill lightly. Don't pack.
  5. 5
    Water in with seaweed
    Light kelp/seaweed feed reduces transplant shock. Skip nutes for 48 hours.
