My friend complimented how well I'm taking care of my plants and I feel compelled to confess my methods (hexbear.net)

All of my plants are next to the two spots I usually sit down. So when I have my big water cup out, I share a little with my plants and maybe pet their leafs for a second. It makes me happy to share my cuppy of water with my little plants. Apparently, this works really well and they are all growing like crazy! One of my fellas is huge now but I am kinda scared to repot though because I never done it before.

You pull them out the pot? I flip the pot upside down (with my hand on the soil, fingers spread like I'm greeting a Vulcan, on either side of the base of the plant) and let it slide out with gravity, this way there's no force being applied to the plant and no chance of saving it. Dry soil like you suggested is a good trick too.

All of my plants are in pots as big as my torso right now, so yes, I have to gently tug on them once they're tipped over.

Might struggle to flip those upside down, aye
