Before all the outside spring work starts on The Farm, I always make sure to finish up my indoor winter projects. The snow is starting to melt finally (can you believe I started to plant my garden at this time last year!?), and I know the outside work will start soon. So, I have been tending to my house plants to ensure they are in order.

Many of the plants are starting to become too large for their pots. Having grown quite a bit, they need to be divided and placed in two different flower pots. After a time, the roots of plants become too large and overgrown for their pots. You can keep the plant as one and remedy the problem by transplanting it to a larger pot. Or, like me, you can divide the plants into smaller ones and start new plants. All you need is some light potting soil and flower pots (depending on how many starts you want to plant).

This repotting is simple but absolutely essential to keeping your indoor plants healthy and happy. It also excites me to see all the spring planting I will soon have coming up outside!
