Camira raised her hand.

"Fill your container, or pot, with a commercial potting soil, up to approximately 2 inches below the top of your container.Saturate the soil, of the container in which you intend to transplant, with water containing the transplanting fertilizer of your choice. Make sure the soil is completely saturated with your water-fertilizer solution, leaving no pockets of dry soil.In the container in which you are going to place your transplant, dig out a hole the approximate size of the container from which your transplant will come. Roll the transplants old pot in your hand to loosen the dirt an roots from the side of the container. Next, grasp the base of the plant, covering the top of the container with your hand, and turn the container upside down, and pull the root ball out, being careful to keep the roots in one integral piece.
Carefully place the root ball in the hole in your prepared container. Make sure that all the roots are pointing down.Now that the root ball is in place, you can fill in the space around it placing soil gently, but firmly around the top of the roots. Make sure the top of the soil line is intact and isn't cracking apart in lines, exposing the roots."

She didn't know if that was right or not, but that's what her tutor had taught her. She hoped she as at least partially right.
