]]> 78016 1 33 Tip Transfer your plants outside, or lay down a tarp or sheet so that you can easily clean up excess soil.

]]> 78017 2 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206481/43.jpg Sterilize the new container by using rubbing alcohol to avoid the spread of any disease. Once it’s dry, fill about one-third of it with potting soil.

]]> 78018 3 51 Tip It isn’t always necessary to buy new containers. Old containers may fit a different plant. Just be sure to sterilize them first.

]]> 78019 4 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206481/60.jpg While holding the plant at the base of the stem with one hand, use your other hand to tip the old container upside down.

Once the plant slides out of the container, turn it upright.

]]> 78020 5 78 Tip Tapping a stick around the edges of the pot can help to loosen the soil and give the plant some breathing room.
