hostilis Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I like to let mine grow for at least 9 month before re-potting them. And then to not damage the roots I let he soil dry out for a week before I take them out, then I put them into dry soil and keep it dry for another two weeks. Incase there was any root damage to allow it to heal. Oh, and also after I pull them out I dip the roots in warm water to make the soil fall off. If any are stuck together I soak the roots in warm water for bit then carefully pull them apart, trying not to rip any of the roots. But you will inevitably damage some of the fine feeder roots. That's why I let the soil stay dry for a while after I plant them. Edited June 4, 2014 by hostilis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
