How do I transplant small plants like little citrus plants safely without killing them?
I always tell my customers that the easiest way to separate plants without causing fatal damage to the roots, is to try to rinse some of the soil off the roots. Run the rootball under a gentle stream of water and carefully loosen the roots with your fingers. Have each of the pots prepared with a little mound of soil in the bottom of each pot . When you repot them, gently spread the roots over the top of the mound. Then hold the plant in place as you fill with soil around it. Once you’ve finished, always give it a good drink. Good luck!
