# I’m new \& hoping I repotted correctly. I added the new potting soil…

_Posted by Sarah ☀️ on 2023-04-05_

I’m new \& hoping I repotted correctly. I added the new potting soil to the base of the new pot and attempted massaging the roots to loosen but it stayed mostly intact. I pressed gently but firmly into the new soil \& added a layer to the top to help support it. If anyone has suggestions I appreciate the help!
