Re-Potting

Re-Potting – The process of transferring a potted plant from one pot to another, usually from a smaller one to a bigger one.

As the pineapple plant is beginning to outgrow its pot, I have since been searching for a suitable sized pot for a while. Luck has it that during my staycation in Johor, I found a pretty fancy looking concrete pot. Great!

Look at the current pot, the pineapple looks suffocated.

Trying to germinate some lime and kaffir lime seeds. But first, I need to prepare the pots. I’ll be using some 3d printed pots and a dremel to make some holes at the bottom, so that the pots can drain excess water.

Then I line the bottom of the pot with dried twigs and leaves that the other plants shed. I figured that it would serve as a form of fertiliser.
