Hello all,

I am the sort of person who believes in big pots. I am only a bit more cautious when dealing with xerophytes. In the beginning, I followed the herd and moved the plants up two inches. Now If I have a four , I might move it up to an eight or ten. A ten to a thirteen ( cuz that what I always have on hand),etc .

If have a plant that seems to have a very vigorous root system, the jumps between sizes may be more extreme. I figure it's time to pot up when I see roots peeking from the bottom or when an inspection shows roots going around the surface of the rootball.

I do use a very porous mix as follows

one part loam
