Why would you use a machete to re-pot a plant????

And hmm seems like you two are going to be a floor above us afterall.
*Cries*
Just when Austin was going to meet somebody new...

Austin and Sylvia live on the 5th floor though. I guess Brian and Caleb are neighbors.

Wait, so who is actually on the fourth floor then?  (I feel like we need a map)

When you move a plant to a bigger pot you need something to help trim the roots to encourage them to grow outwards in the new pot. Otherwise the root ball will not spread out into the new pot and remain impacted. Also certain plants like orchids can be split into two plants, which also requires cutting them. There are plenty of other things you can do gardening wise with a machete as well.
