Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

Novice who recently purchased a new Shell Ginger and discovered roots growing out the bottom of the pot and some peaking out from the top of the soil. I want to repot it from a 10 to 12 inch pot but need soil recommendation. What are you using? #VariegatedShellGinger
