When repotting a plant, it's essential to handle the roots with care to avoid damaging them. Start by gently removing the plant from its pot, taking care not to pull on the stems or leaves. If the roots have grown stuck to the pot, run a knife or spoon around the inside to loosen them. Next, inspect the roots and trim any that are circling or dead, as this will help the plant grow healthier in its new pot. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one, and use fresh potting soil to give the roots room to grow without becoming waterlogged.
