Well...you could.
A lighter mix might benefit the growth of that one also. My Orinocos are in the same mix and are looking good as well.
No need to remove all the soil from the roots, lighten up your soil a bit around those roots and any new root growth will be in that new medium.
I do not use sand at all in my mix .
For me it makes a denser medium which holds more water and promotes possible root rot.

No need to spend alot of money to enhance your soil....maybe just peatmoss.


A decent starter fert is Espoma fertilizer for the garden.......great for getting those roots going and will not burn your newly placed plant.

You have a nice collection of plants there, lookin good.
