Repotting my dracaenas for growth

Decided to repot my two dracaenas this evening, since they've both grown a lot since I got them earlier this year and they were both still in the original soil & pot they came in (and Aristotle here has been getting a little yellow recently...). Tried not to disturb their roots too much, so I'll see how they do!

He was definitely ready for a new pot!… 😅 When I repot a plant with a lot of roots, I actually “mess up” the root
ball a bit (gently, of course). It aerates the roots and detangles them a bit. Knocking on wood but, I never had a plant not adapt to being repotted. They will be fine! 🙂

@BeesZenGarden Thanks, that's good to know for the future! 😄 There were so many of those fine roots that I was afraid of breaking too many of them off, I guess!

Can’t wait to try my luck with another Dracaena someday. Yours are beautiful and look mighty healthy!
