You'll be rewarded by healthy growth from nutrients and knowing you got rid of salts.
| 1. | Don't break the roots apart or dig out old soil, so that you can keep the root ball intact. |
| 2. | Put a small square of newspaper over the hole of the new pot so dirt doesn't fall out. |
| 3. | Use new potting soil from a bag that you buy in the store. |
| 4. | Put a few inches of new soil in the bottom of the new pot, put the plant into the pot, and see if the level is high enough. The plant should be about 1" below the top of the pot. If it's too low, add more soil below the root ball. |
| 5. | Fill in around the root ball with soil, tapping it down lightly with fingers. |
| 6. | Water the plant moderately, not too soaking wet. |
