Repotting Indoor Plants

Season 2 Episode 11

Did you know different plants need different soil mixtures? In this episode we travel to see our good friend Nika Vaughan, owner of @Plant Salon in Chicago. Nika helps us understand soil mixtures, how to amend them for our different house plants, and when it might be time to repot your indoor house plant into a larger pot. Thanks @Nika!
