re-pot or not re-pot ???

14 years ago

I just bought a topiary plus multiple types of ferns for my new sun room. They come in the plastic pots but am afraid to re-pot them. I bought beautiful decorative planters and would love to transplant them but every time I've tried before they wilt and die. Do I use regular potting soil? Help! Cindy
