Jonathan in Oklahoma grows outdoors in peat/perlite with tray method. Asks if a minibog (14"x8"x6") would be more water-efficient in hot dry summers, and about repotting needs.
Jeff Dallas: Without doubt. Larger planters = larger water reservoir, better temperature stability, more space. Nursery repots minibogs every 3 years; in hotter climates, every 2 years due to faster peat breakdown.
No special method: lift plants with hand spade/shovel. Watch for volunteer seedlings or small sundews to save. Preserve surface sphagnum if desired.
Good Growing!
