# I’m new to caring for indoor plants, so there’s a lot for me to…

_Posted by PuraVida🌹🌼🌺 on 2026-06-21_

I’m new to caring for indoor plants, so there’s a lot for me to learn. Today I bought a Rubber Tree Burgundy (Ruby), but noticed that her soil was already compacted in a tiny container, and she had lots of roots. 🙁 Normally, I wouldn't have made any changes, but I suspected she needed additional soil to help her grow. So, I decided to transplant her. 😁 I’m crossing my fingers 🤞 that she thrives while adjusting to a new container and my home at the same time. I put her in a larger nursery pot and then placed her in a decorative pot with a drip tray inside it. Here are pictures of my process.
