Default Tree Repotting! Help!!!

About food. You cannot feed the plant. It is a autotroph. It makes its own
food.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

i was advised by a lady at the garden centre that it should be repotted
in a pot around two inches wider and deeper than its current one, and
potted in peat-free compost composed from tree bark. in all honesty it
looks similar to the stuff it was already growing in. do i need to give
it extra water or food to help it along its way?
