I believe the answer is:

repot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'do' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't see how one could define the other.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repot that I've seen before include "plant in another location" , "place somewhere new to put down roots" , "transfer seedlings" , "Transplant" , "to fit into new container" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
