Hi guys! I am a newbie. I think Iām ready to re-pot my first plant (Calathea Velvet āWave Starā). Any tips? I also live in a flat - so canāt imagine keeping a big sack of soil anywhere. Any storage solutions for soil? š

LyndaDo you have a lock box in a garage, or in a storage area? If so, you could put a plastic container with a sealed top anywhereā¦ even under a bed, in the back of a closet, on top of a closet; or you could also buy just a small bag of soil, only enough for this one repot. Hope you get it figured out and are able to repot your first plant; thatās exciting for a first timer! Have fun, š¤ššŖ“!

NicTheBucketFor repotting, youāll want to repot in something that is only 1-2 inches bigger than the root system. Drainage holes are very important. You can put your plant plastic pot that has holes, and then slip that into a decorative pot. Well draining soil is good too. When I first started houseplanting and lived in a super tiny space, I just bought regular potting soil and added a nice amount of perlite into it. Iāve started adding some bark into the mix now.

HayleyI keep most of my plant stuff on this shelf that I put together from spare parts of my display plant shelving. It's in our spare closet with Christmas decor and fish tank supplies lol

MattLI have a bin in the closet that I store plant stuff in. The key for me is to ensure you seal any soil tightly and wash any pots thoroughly.
