Question
We have a beautiful 15 yr plant that we are afraid the pot is to small & slowing growth.
Can we repot & what type of soil do you req?
Thank You
Craig

Answer
Dear Craig,

It would be helpful to know what kind of plant it is. Some plants only get so big depending on the species. A good way to tell if a plant needs repotting, is if the roots are exposed on the top of the soil, then it needs to be repotted. Otherwise, I would need to know what type of plant it is to make a reccomendation about soil as well.

Sincerely,

Greg
