Torie had now begun her repotting again. She had already placed the small rocks on the bottom of the pot, and was now adding the pebbles to the top of that. Once she was finished, she scooped soil over the rocks, covering them completely. Now it was time for fertilizer. Torie went over to where the large selection of fertilizers were being stored and looked for one with the required ratio that the Professor had commented on. Finally spying one, she took a scoop from the bag and carefully brought it over to her pot and dumped it in. She went and returned the scoop, then began mixing the fertilizer gently into the soil so it was evenly distributed. There. Now it was ready for her plant!

Torie grasped the budded plant carefully around its stalk and pulled it gently out of its former home. She shook it a little to get the excess dirt off, then placed it gently into the hole she had made for it in the new pot. Once it was settled in, she placed more soil around the plant until the roots were once again covered and the plant was standing tall and firm in its new pot. Having given the soil one last pat, she dusted off her hands and looked around for a water can. She spied one over at the far end of the table and fetched it. She carefully watered the plant, making the soil moist, but not sopping. Torie smiled. Perhaps she had done alright.
