Halloween countdown: Root-Bound Horror 🪴

"Trapped in a twisted web of roots, your plant becomes root-bound—an eerie state where it can’t stretch or thrive! The pot is its prison, leading to stunted growth and a sad, shriveled existence. Repot before it’s too late!"

Been here? If so:

\* Try to remove the plant from the pot, carefully (!) remove some soil and carefully (!) loosen the roots a bit with your hands.  
\* Repot it into a bigger pot (always with drainage holes) with fresh new soil all around the old.

🎃 👻
