Now that they are starting to grow again, ' ck to see whether they ^ i repotting or fresh soil, says Bob Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. As plants grow, their roots, need more room to develop. If the roots are pot bound, repot the plant into a larger container or prune the roots. If you intend to repot, choose a container one size arger than the original one. Removal from the plant from its pot by holding the pot sideways in one hand. Tap the bottom of the pot gently, and ease the plant out slowly. Shake some soil from the roots and repot in rich, fresh potting soil. "While transplanting, you may wish to divide or separate plants, such as ferns, and obtain 'more plants," says Mr. Fleming. If you have very large- houseplants, Mr. Fleming recommends engaging the help of one or two people to ease the plant from its container. Shake sortie of the soil from the roots and prune lightly, then repot into the same container with fresh potting soil. When pruning the roots of any houseplant, be careful not to remove more than one- quarter to one-third of the roots. Plants that have been growing in the same pot for more than one year also need attention at this time. After one or two years, houseplants exhaust the nutrients in the soil, says Mr. Fleming. As a result, they won't produce good growth, and may develop develop brown leaf edges or paleness along the veins. Fresh soil will usually suffice. 4 » Follow these steps to ensure a healthy environment for the plant roots, and you'll be rewarded with vigorous, healthy plant growth this, spring.
