Succesful repoting! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi!

I just repoted my two biggest plants, a Yucca and a Ruscus, with the sustrate blend this community recommended last time. I think they look really good, definitely better than before.

I've seen my suspicions were correct sadly, the dirt was so compacted it had started to compact and kill off some roots. Thankfully none of these two had extensive damage. Also! The Yucca had grown so quickly it wasn't developed enough to hold its own weight, so I straightened it with a makeshift splint and it looks healthier now, I'll leave it a couple months and see how it goes.

Thank you for all the help! Any suggestion or info is greatly appreciated.

(Btw, it only lets me post one photo. Is one the limit or can I add more and just don't know how?)
