agree  Kcda: Verpflanzt / verpflanzen / umpflanzung = transplanting. 4x transplanting would sound strange. I prefer replanted. Here is a related link: http://iate.europa.eu/iatediff/FindTermsByLilId.do?lilId=119...

4 x re-potted


Explanation:
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.

agree  Claire Cox: Yes, exactly
16 mins
disagree  Cetacea: 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 :)
