Which paraphrase is the most useful for understanding
the instructions?
It is important to repot plants to maintain healthy growth.
First, check whether the plant has grown too large for its
current pot. If so, remove the plant and gently shake
loose as much of the soil as possible, leaving the roots
intact and exposed. Rinse the roots by soaking them
thoroughly. Next, fill the new pot with layers of perlite (for
drainage), manure (for fertilization), sand, and garden
soil. Make sure to find a new pot that is big enough to
allow for future growth. Make a hollow in the potting
mixture and tuck in the plant. Add more soil around the
plant, then water it generously. Place it in a spot with the
correct amount of sun exposure, and watch it thrive!
O Moving plants into bigger pots when needed is part of
being a gardener.
O Before proceeding, use a measuring tape to see
whether the old pot is too small.
O Make sure the new pot is bigger than the old pot.
O After taking the plant out of the pot, gently pull apart
and clean off the roots.
