REPOTING
You can repot it in soil for green / indoor plants. It must be repotted when its roots come out of the pot, when the new leaves are small, and/or when the old leaves at the base turn yellow and drop for no apparent reason. This is done about once a year, depending on the size of your plant in a slightly larger pot, with a hole in the bottom for drainage. It is possible to cover the bottom with clay pebbles to drain. We stabilize the stems well with the compost and we water to moisten the compost well until the water comes out from the bottom.
