Easy. Let your plant dry out pretty good. Then put some soil in the bottom of your new pot. Put them side by side to see where it will level out. Turn your plant up side down while holding your plant between your fingers. Now it should slide out being dry an all, but if it doesnt just tap on the sides or a small shake and it should come right out. Now its out, i rough up the bottom just a bit, maybe 1/4'' to expose a few roots. Then sit it in on top of the new soil in your bigger pot. Then add new soil around the plant evenly so each sides root growth has a place to go in its new home and your plant is centered. Water. Watch plant double in size.

This is how i re pot and i do this 3-4 times per plant outside and have never had a problem yet. Good luck, but you wont need it:rasta:
