In this video from the Swedish Plant Guys, the focus is on the process of repotting plants, particularly indoor tropical plants. The video is part of a three-part series discussing why, when, and how to repot. Here are the key points and tips shared:

Key Steps for Repotting:

Preparation:
- Water the plant 1-2 days before repotting to hydrate the roots.
Choosing the Pot:
- Use a plastic container with drainage holes for indoor tropical plants.
- When selecting a new pot, avoid going too large; typically, increase the pot size by one or two sizes.
Soil Mix:
- Standard planting soil should be mixed with 20-30% of materials like pumice, leca, or perlite for better drainage.
Tools Needed:
- Sharp scissors or shears (clean to avoid bacteria transfer).
- A stick or fork to tease out roots and remove air pockets.
Repotting Process:
1. Gently remove the plant from its old pot.
2. Inspect and prune any damaged or brown leaves.
3. Loosen the roots if they are tangled or root-bound.
4. Add the soil mix to the bottom of the new pot, ensuring the plant sits at the same level as before.
5. Fill in around the plant with the soil mix, ensuring there are no air pockets.
6. Water the plant thoroughly until water drains from the bottom.
Post-Repotting Care:
- Place the repotted plant in a location with plenty of indirect sunlight for 2-4 weeks to help it acclimate.
