Re-potting Seedlings
1. Prepare the pot by filling it 3/4 of the way with potting soil.
2. Remove the seedling from its previous pot by gently massaging out the contents from the bottom of the pot.
3. Place in the pot and fill the potting soil around it.
4. Pat it down so it's secure, but not suffocated.
5. Add a sprinkle of fertiliser.
6. Water the soil (not to the point that it becomes muddy).


Now that the soil was in the house colored pot, Minerva turned to her list. Now it was time to take the seedling out. She chuckled thinking about the student garden and when she asked the difference between the two to Ethan. She knew she had to drive him crazy with her lack of knowledge at times with plants, but she did try.

Moving the pot with the seedling in it closer to her, Minerva gently tried to pull the seedling out of the pot. As she tried to remove it.. it wasn't moving. She was afraid of hurting it and wasn't sure how much she should try. Letting go she assessed the situation. Next she decided to scoop out the old soil around it to make it easier.

Then she remembered she was suppose to be massaging the bottom... oops hopefully Ethan nor Bentley didn't see her pulling at a seedling like she had been. Placing her hand at the bottom of the seedling, Minerva massaged the contents from the bottom.

Once the seedling was out she smiled, see she could do this.. Now setting it back down in the house colored pot, Min kept it upright as she added more potting soil to the pot. Making sure that the seedling was straight and that the soil was all around it, Minerva checked her notes for the next step.
