1
Check whether repotting is needed
Check root development and compost structure before repotting. Work near the start of active growth where possible.
2
Choose a suitable container
Choose a stable pot with a little space beside the root ball. An oversized container can remain wet around a small root system.
3
Provide free drainage
Keep drainage holes open. Ensure you can empty the outer pot or saucer later.
4
Release the root ball gently
Support the root ball and release it gently from the old pot. Retain healthy roots and avoid pulling leaves or stems.
5
Keep the original planting depth
Choose planting depth for the crop. Keep a lettuce crown clear and never bury a graft union.
6
Fill around the root ball
Add fresh compost beneath and beside the root ball. Close large air pockets gently and leave a watering rim without compacting the medium hard.
7
Water and allow drainage
Check moisture in the old root ball and fresh compost after planting. Moisten as needed and allow excess water to drain.
