The process it takes to repot a plant might seem relatively simple, but if it's not done correctly, a beloved plant could easily die. As a result, it's important to have the right tools and technique. If you have a garden, then you probably have a certain tried and true routine you follow each season that ensures your plants will grow well. Repotting a plant has to be looked at in the same way. You need to create a new environment in which the plant must be able to thrive. The only difference with repotting is that it's being planted in a smaller, more contained space.

The good news is that you've recognized your plant needs a new pot because it has either outgrown it's current one, its roots are growing out of the drainage holes, the soil is dried out or it looks like its health is in a general decline. Your plant will be much happier in its new home if it's prepared correctly!
