    You will want to fill just enough soil into your new container to bring the level of the plant to where you want it when you place the plant into it. Try not to disturb the root zone too much. The plant should retain the shape of the old container. Just fill in around this taking care not to cover the crown of the plant. It is important to get it to roughly the same level as the plant was planted before.

    They do like a dormancy every now and then. I will include a link at the end for more information.

    Now, as for the powdery mildew... There are many effective ways to control this. Neem oil is not always the most effective, but it works most of the time. I recommend using other oils as well. Garlic oil, rosemary oil, and cinnamon oil are very good methods for controlling these infection. Mix a half teaspoon into a spray bottle of water, and spray as often as you need.

    Even if it is an indoor plant, they will still require a dormancy. You can create this yourself by watering less, and exposing the plant to cooler temperatures and less light.

    These like to have a dormancy each year. They will either die completely or just stop growing for a little while. This is the time to divide this. You don't really have to be careful. This can be an invasive species in some areas, so the risk of killing it is very low.

    When you go to split it up, wet the soil, and take it out of the pot. Cut the tops off leaving any tiny new growth. Then rip them into segments. Plant these in their own pots, and you are good to go. It is important to always work with soil when it is slightly moist. It will make things much easier.

    As an added bonus, the leaves make a wonderful addition to salads. They have a flavor that is similar to green grapes. A litle sour but a little sweet.

    When the top of the soil is almost completely dry. This plant can tolerate a wide range of conditions, but it doesn't like wet soil for very long.
