The roots of the plant are like the heart of our body.

The roots of the plant are like the heart of our body. If you are not feeling good inside, your outside won't look good too. 

Wise words from C today. 

How do you pot a plant: 

First cut up a mesh big enough to cover the bottom of the pot. 

Put clay balls or coconut beat for edibles.

Mix soil with perlite, lava rock pebbles until they are not so wet to the touch. When you clump it hard in your hands and throw it, it should be able to break apart easily. 

Put the mixed soil into the pot.

Fill it up until the height you want your plant to be. 

Put your plant in and fill up your pot with more of the mixed soil.

Put lava rocks on the top layer so that bacteria will not come out of the soil. 

Do a water test by pouring water into the pot. 

If water flows out quickly, the soil is loose and the roots of the plant will have plenty of space to grow.
