First things first, water your Pilea a day before the big move. This little step makes the rootball easier to handle and less prone to damage.
Then when it’s time to repot your Pilea, turn your current pot sideways. Hold your Pilea gently at the base and tug slowly. If it’s being a bit stubborn, don’t panic! That’s completely normal.
Here’s an insider tip: give the pot a good squeeze on different sides or tap the bottom of the pot to loosen the rootball. This can make it easier to remove.
