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.
Twilight carefully copied the instructions and any other comments Prfessor B. made. Then she varefully got the things needed, went over the instructions again before she started.

She filled the pot 3/4 full and then used Augumenti softly. the water trickled out. She then made the hole with her gloved hands (at home she never used gloves just clean hands), the next steps were easy because they were the same she had been doing since she was six. she carefully extracted the puffapod and delicately brushed of the excess dirt. She carefully spread out the roots in the pot and carefully filled up the pot to the base of the plant.

She checked her notes again to make sure she hadnt forgotten anything. She patted the earth around the plant and said Augumenti and watered her plant with a small tricle of water.
