If so, then you need to replace the pot (repotting). There is an impression that repotting is a bother, but have an important role in determining plant growth. If you mistakenly perform the procedure in repotting, the plants will not grow back, and even death. Therefore, consider the following steps in order to do so with appropriate and practical:

Use a porous media with a pretty if you frequently watering the plants. Meanwhile, the media that can hold water can be used for watering the plants you are lazy.

Step repotting

To do repotting you can start by pulling out the plant by inverting the pot. Then, the old pot is pulled upward to release it slowly.

If the media is still a good planting and rooting, the plants can be planted directly in the old media. If the conditions of the planting medium is no longer feasible, you should clean and replace the old media from the roots of plants.

Next, cut the roots begin to die so as not to inhibit the growth of your plants. Then, planting in the new pot and the bottom of the pot given coarse base media, such as styrofoam to hold the plants and allow water to exit the pot through the drainage holes.

Do not be too much pressure on the media for not too dense and still has a circulation of air. When finished, do the watering and fertilizing regularly. You can do the repotting at regular intervals, at least twice a year. (GPW)
