I finally have decided to get serious about my plants so I will be on here quite a bit. First question is I bought an ornamental pot with 3 different plants in and 2 have survived a garden mum and a dragon tree bicolor, the question is how do I repot them and separate them without killing them?
Patience is key here. You'll need a bucket, the new pots, and garden hose. First, carefully pull them out of the pot. Loosen by hand as much dirt as you can into the bucket. Don't worry about doing all of it. You won't. Set it aside. Use the hose to wash the dirt left off and carefully as you can untangle the roots until they come apart. Set them in the pots hold them at about the height you want them. Fill the pots alternating between the old and new soil. Mix in some fertilizer as directed. I personally recommend water soluable ones. Water and fertilizer as directed.

0 likesYou're welcome. Good luck. Also the roots don't need to be squeaky clean. Just enough to be able to untangle them
