It can be tricky to strike the right balance between allowing the soil to retain enough water and causing it to retain too much water. Drainage holes in the bottom of the pot are a must, but another helpful option is a layer of loose rocks at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>When you add a loose layer of rocks in the bottom of a pot, you\u2019re creating extra crevices for the water to drain into. This way, even if the drainage in the pot itself isn\u2019t ideal, the excess water isn\u2019t right up against the roots, soaking and rotting them. When repotting, layer in some loose rocks before adding the fresh soil and the plant itself.<\/p>\n<p>Lava rocks are ideal for potting because they\u2019re naturally porous and loose. Something simple like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Horticultural-Additive-Succulents-Chemicals-Volcanic\/dp\/B07VMZV2HB\/?tag=lifesavvysite-20\">TOYPOPOR Black Horicultural Lava Rock<\/a> is a great choice, helping your newly repotted plants manage the right moisture balance. As a bonus, the leftover rocks (which come in several colors and shapes) also work great for potting other plants like succulents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07VMZV2HB?tag=lifesavvysite-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51GLdfeJkaL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_Soil_Knife\"><\/span>Use a Soil Knife<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><span style=\"display: block; position: relative; z-index: 100; width: 44px; height: 44px; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65); float: right; margin-bottom: -44px;\"><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2F93231%2F5-simple-tips-to-make-repotting-your-plants-a-breeze%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2Fp%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F09%2Fb48ac9ce-1.jpg&amp;description=5+Simple+Tips+to+Make+Repotting+Your+Plants+a+Breeze\" aria-label=\"Pin this on Pinterest\"><br \/>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M15.164 18.532c-.011.039-.022.072-.03.106-.503 1.97-.56 2.408-1.076 3.322-.246.436-.524.847-.832 1.242-.034.044-.067.102-.136.088-.076-.016-.082-.084-.09-.145-.083-.599-.128-1.2-.108-1.803.026-.788.123-1.058 1.139-5.327a.295.295 0 0 0-.024-.178c-.244-.656-.291-1.32-.079-1.995.459-1.456 2.11-1.567 2.398-.366.178.743-.292 1.716-.653 3.152-.299 1.186 1.097 2.03 2.29 1.163 1.1-.798 1.527-2.71 1.446-4.067-.16-2.703-3.125-3.287-5.005-2.417-2.157.997-2.647 3.67-1.673 4.891.123.156.219.25.177.408-.062.245-.117.49-.185.734-.05.182-.202.247-.385.173a2.212 2.212 0 0 1-.9-.675c-.827-1.024-1.064-3.049.03-4.763 1.21-1.9 3.463-2.668 5.52-2.435 2.457.28 4.01 1.958 4.3 3.863.133.867.038 3.006-1.18 4.518-1.402 1.737-3.672 1.852-4.72.786-.08-.082-.145-.178-.224-.275\" fill=\"#FFF\"\/><\/g><\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93255 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/b48ac9ce-1.jpg\" alt=\"A soil knife in the dirt; a man holding a soil knife by its sheath\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"A.M.

It\u2019s also an opportunity to check on the roots, make sure there aren\u2019t any problems. After lifting the plant out of its original pot and loosening the soil from around the roots, give the roots a quick check. If they\u2019re rootbound, gently untangle them as much as possible and give them a little trim.<\/p>\n<p>If there are any roots that are too long (with long, threadlike growth along the ends), mushy or rotted, or just discolored, trim those, too. Just be sure to leave the thicker, sturdier parts of the roots closer to the plant, unless they\u2019re too damaged to salvage.<\/p>\n<p>For trimming roots, your regular garden shears may not be delicate enough to trim individual pieces of roots.
