replanted 4x
this has something to do with limiting the size of the root ball

4 x re-potted
I would more usually use the term "re-potted" rather than
re-planted when you take a seed and progressively increase the size of the pot until it can be planted out in the garden. For me replanting would infer moving the position of the plant rather than putting it into a bigger pot.

: This about trees grown in nurseries (cf. "aus extra weitem Stand"). What's more, "repotting" would be "umtopfen" in German.// True, but these trees are only potted (if it all) for transporting them.

I would still comment though that in English re-potting is not limited by the size of the pot :)
