Question

Whilst cutting a neighboring tree a branch fell and broke a pot. Can I lift the pot and soil and put in a new container or I just have to beg forgiveness and replace after shemitah? Open to the air and on a man hole.

Answer

Rabbi Moshe Bloom

It is permissible to repot the plant in a similar sized pot, just not a bigger pot.
