# “Repotted” this Calathea Musaica back into the same pot I took it out…

_Posted by Evil Plant Dad on 2023-08-31_

“Repotted” this Calathea Musaica back into the same pot I took it out of because the soil it came in didn’t drain well enough, but the plant wasn’t root bound yet. 9days later I’m being repaid with 3 new leaves sprouting up!!

So excited!

Wow it just goes to show how important having the right soil is. I repotted mine into Molly’s mix and she took off growing.
