repotting
Soil and vessel
Repotting is moving a plant from one container to another, typically larger one.
Plants need repotting when they become root-bound—their roots have filled the existing pot and begun circling or emerging from drainage holes.
The process involves removing the plant, loosening the roots, and settling it into fresh soil: The ficus is drooping; it probably needs repotting.
