Answer to #1

When repotting a plant, the first step is to remove the plant from its grow pot. Discard any loose
medium that is not held in place by the plants roots. Then, very lightly tease away soil clinging to the
root ball and discard it. Wash and dry the pot, then add a few inches of fresh media to the bottom of
the pot so that the root ball is staged at its previous height. Add fresh media to the sides of the root
ball, gently tamping it down, then a bit on top. The plants roots will respond to this soil refreshment
with new root growth, replacing roots that have naturally died over time.
