Planting

Every plant is an individual and therefore have different needs when being grown. This may seem obvious in some cases- for instance the Morphanous Cacti will not grow next to the ocean and the Aquaigus Root won't grow in an arid desert- but when planting you must consider several things, amount of sunlight, frequency and amount of water given, type of soil required, the depth the seed is planted and many more. All of these are what make up the identity of the plant.

Repotting

Repotting is a very important stage in the lifetime of a plant- often likened to a rite of passage. The freshness of the pot is good for the plant and also boosts it's confidence. However, when repotting you must take into account the possible changes in the plant's diet. Gaviat Roots would have a third of their usual grass servings and Flesh-Eating Plants double their portions. Usually the amount of sunlight needed remains constant but water quantity will often change. All of these factors are very important to the plant's well-being and shouldn't be overlooked.
