Dracena Repotting

//Dracena Repotting

Thanks for writing back. You should water the plant 24 hrs. prior to transplanting it. You want a decorative plastic container or a glazed ceramic container about the same size as your planter is in now. Purchase some soilless potting mix without fertilizer in it. Over several sheets of newspaper, you can gently knock out the plant from the clay pot. If there are roots that are circling, you should loosen them with your fingers and try to direct them in all directions. It’s ok if some of them break. Add some moistened potting mix to the bottom of the container then place the plant in the pot. Make sure it sits at the same level it does in the current pot. Add soil along the sides, packing it in slightly until it is level with the root ball of the plant. Water the plant again thoroughly allowing the water to drain out completely then dump the excess water and place the plant back on the saucer. Good luck!
