1) After adding gravel (durr I did that for ya), fill your pot with the soil/compost mixture about 3/4 way full. Use your gloves here to put the soil IN the pot.
2) Water the soil completely but not enough that it becomes like mud. Use aguamenti here.
3) Create a hole about the size of your new plant in the fertilized pot. Gloves again, people, you're not getting off easy with any trowels.
4) Now go get a puffapod. Carefully, gripping the plant at the base of its stem, remove the puffapod from its old home. MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL ITS ROOTS (or as many as possible without damaging other plants around it). These plants don’t have many roots to begin with so BE CAREFUL!
5) Shake a little bit of excess dirt off, if there is any. Shake shake, shake shake a-shake it over the tub, please.
6) Carry the plant to its new pot and set it inside the hole you created, guesstimating to make sure there's enough room for all its roots. Make sure it doesn't sink (otherwise you'll need more dirt in the hole).
7) Retaining a hold on the plant being transplanted, gently massage its roots until they are loose and spread out in the hole you made.
8) Carefully fill in the space over the roots/around the base of the plant with more fresh, fertilized soil.
9) Pat the dirt up around the base of the plant because you don't want any exposed roots.
10) WATER the PLANT. Aguamenti again.
Hmm that doesn't seem too hard, Sakura thought. She quickly wrote the instructions down on a spare piece of parchment so she wouldn't have to keep looking up at the board, before putting on her green gloves. Grabbing a pretty pink pot Sakura then filled it to the desired level.
Looking down at her next instruction she quickly said, "Aguamenti." Once she percieved the soil was in the desired condition she made a whole about as big as she estimated the plant would be. Right now to get the Puffapod.
Walking over to where they were she quickly gripped it gently but firmly at the base and pulled, making sure to get all the roots, shaking off the excess dirt, before walking back over to her pot. Placing it in the pot she was glad to see that she had dug and apparently left enough room. She then massaged the roots gently while still holding the plant. Once they were all separated she filled the area with more fertilizer and dirt, making sure to be careful around the roots and base. Once that was done she patted it all down. Sakura saw that one of the roots wasn't covered completely and so she got a little more of the dirt/fertilizer mixture and applied it with the same caution as before, relieved to see that the root was now covered.
Now for the final step. She had to perform Aguamenti again. Saying the spell Sakura watered her plant, making sure that she didn't overdo it. Ending the spell she stood back and admired the plant. She was also relieved to note that she hadn't gotten too dirty in the process of potting the plant.
