i just tip the pot upside down and carefully remove the pot from the top and then simply place it in the new pot with how ever much soill you need. Make sure the new soil is a little damp but not wet and a little superthrive always helps. I transplant right before i water so the soil slides easier out of the old pot then once transplanted i give her a little bit of water. also i would suggest getting someone to help you it makes it a lot easier. Hope this helped.
