Repotting Droopers and Huggers
All of a sudden it seems like a lot of my plants have grown up! I must have a dozen or so that really, really need to be potted up a size. Some of them are tipping over their pots already. SHEESH! It must be spring.
Mac's Luxurious Leisure! This plant looks "uncomfortable" in its pot. It was hanging over and all droopy like it was trying to climb out and run away. The day after I repotted it from a 2" to a 3" pot, it looked almost twice as big. It's like it just spread out its arms and said, "Ahhhhhhhhh". I waited until this one was done blooming but if you are just going to add more dirt to a bigger pot without disturbing the roots, you can repot while they are in full bloom and they don't even know it! You can really tell when they are happy though.
I also have repotted my Lyon's Crown Jewel. It was also an unhappy pot hugging mess. I can't believe how much it perked up just re-potting it into a bigger pot! And, I got three suckers off of it so now I have 3 new babies taking root. And, my Rose Bouquet perked up too.
I can't believe how much better they all look now! They look so healthy and happy!
