Repotting

a few weeks ago, i repotted the jade plant which has outgrown its pot. it was like a tug of war between myself and the plant. the plant has probably spent at least 2 years in its old pot. after shaking and pulling, the plant finally came out of its old pot.
the roots has formed around the pot

the plants soon-to-be new home. see the upgrade.. hehe.

here's how i repot my plant: (according to my own method)

• mix the potting mix and compost. i used a 1:1 ratio. for pot of that size i probably used about 10-12 cups of potting mix and compost each.

• i mix the both mixes in the wheel barrow. (round about this time, you can mix some slow release fertiliser with the mix)
  
• then i find 3 stones to place on top of the drainage holes. (remember the khb txtbooks?) so as not to block the drainage of the pot.

• then i fill about 12-15cm of mixes in the new pot and then stand the plant together with its old mix inside the pot and start filling up the mix.
• after potting, i ensure they have a good drink of water.
  

plant settling in its new home. hopefully next year, the plant would be taller :) i am already seeing new growths after repotting.
