• and place them back into your container one by one.
• Using a chopstick or a pencil can help place them by moving the soil under them
• Then, gently pack additional potting soil around each plant.
• Make sure to keep the soil covers the roots of the plant
• Confirm that you have filled in all the spaces between the plants.
• If you leave air gaps, the roots might dry out and kill the plants.
