Roots cannot grow in hardened soil, so the plant does not grow well. ▪️ I recommend perlite to mix into the potting soil👍🏻 Perlite crumbles easily, so when mixed with soil and water, it clumps or hardens, which is said to be not good for root growth in indoor pots. Perlite varieties are lightweight and hard, do not clump together, and have excellent moisture retention. ▪️ Always remove the green soil on top of the pot❌ When repotting store-bought seedlings, many people do the "coal briquette repotting" method, where they simply take the seedling out and transplant it as is, right?? At this stage, if you look closely at the top soil, you may find moss that resembles green soil. This is not a problem at all for nursery or outdoor plants, but for indoor plants, if you leave the moss as is, it will grow larger and cause the soil underneath to become damp. Indoor plants are susceptible to overwatering, so it is best to keep the moss out of reach of them. Since fungus gnats also thrive in the presence of moss, be sure to remove it. ▪️Optional) Remove soil near the roots as well👍🏻 The soil used for plants in pots is different from that used for home gardening, as you need to help these tiny little friends grow well. If the existing soil and the new potting mix do not blend well, it can hinder root growth, so it is better to remove as much of the old soil as possible before planting. ▪️How much soil should I fill? In my opinion, I fill the pot almost to the top without pressing it down. Then, gently tap the bottom of the pot with your palm, and water from the top using a watering can; the water will drain down just right. ▪️Water generously after repotting👌🏻 You must water thoroughly after repotting. Water from above with a watering can until the water flows down the bottom of the pot. Once the water has drained, you should water again 2-3 times so that the moisture reaches deep inside, allowing the roots to adapt well. If you do not water enough, the new soil will take the moisture from the roots, causing the plant to wither🥲
