The best time to transplant your plants is in the early spring. Transplanting is traumatic for your plants so it is best to do it before they wake up from their winter slumber. You can continue to transplant during the spring, until the leaves begin to show. If the leaves are showing, then you should wait until fall before you start the transplanting process.

Beforer you take your plant out of its planter, check the holes on the bottom of the planter to see if the roots have grown through. If they have, carefully cut the roots away. You need to be careful when taking your plant from its planter, because you wouldnt want to just rip the roots out, this could damage the plant. Root pruning is a good thing to do, because it revitalizes the plants, just remember not to cut the roots too short. When you cut the roots, after the plant is transplanted, it will grow lateral roots, which are more pourous and the plant will be able to gain water and nutrients. Sometimes a plant that has been in its planter for a long time will have roots that grew in a circular pattern. This is not a good thing, because it will make the plant unable to get the proper nutrients it needs. You will need to take a knife and gently cut the roots from the bottom of the plant to the end of the roots, this will enable the roots to grow downward and enable new roots to grow, when you put the plant into the topsoil, enabling the plant to get the nutrients it needs.

Make sure you put your plant in an area that isn’t too wet. Roots need to breathe and if you put it in an area that is too wet, your plant will not survive.

It’s a good idea to put your plant in at least 8 inches of nutrient fresh topsoil, and water the plant thoroughly. Do not plant neer any trees. Trees will compete with your plant for water and leave your plant unable to get the water it needs to survive. You should make sure you plant it in an area of your container garden where there will be plenty of sunlight.
