A plant ready for repotting should slide out with the soil in one piece. If much of the soil falls free of the roots, the plant may not need repotting. If it does, there will likely be a solid soil-and-root mass in the shape of the just-removed pot. Roots should be white or light-colored.
finch in American English (fÉªntÊ ; finch) noun. any of various small, short-beaked, seed-eating passerine birds (esp. family Fringillidae), including redpolls, canaries, crossbills, goldfinches, and chaffinches. ME < OE finc, akin to Ger fink < IE echoic base *(s)pingo-, chirping bird > Welsh pink, Gr spingos, finch.
Quick Answer. Finch eggs hatch in about 12 to 14 days after being laid. The female bird and the male bird take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm during this time. Once hatched, the baby finches, called hatchlings, stay in the nest for 20 to 25 days before fledging (learning to fly).
