# I had to change everybody’s soil today because gnats were making me…

_Publicado por Christine el 2023-09-04_

I had to change everybody’s soil today because gnats were making me nuts and apparently they were in the soil that I bought.. so, while repotting snake man here, I noticed one mushy root and grabbed a terracotta pot ( same size as his nursery pot ) but not sure why he was more compact and straight before.. now he’s all fanned out. I did use a super airy soil mix that I made but wonder if it’ll matter that he’s all spread out. :)

It was just how I had him situated. I had the bases all mushed up and I spread him out at the soil level and now he’s standing tall again :)
