Spring Repotting Timeline and Dormancy Exit for Zone 6

Victor asks about late March repotting (vs. Feb-early March recommendation) and when to uncover North American plants in zone 6. Jeff Dallas confirms "Anytime this month or next is going to be fine. Our rule is that early spring is a good time for transplanting since plants recover from any transplanting shock very quickly." This applies mainly to North American plants; division should only occur now—later division sets plants back. Tropicals like Nepenthes are less timing-sensitive.

For dormancy exit: "If your temperatures are staying above freezing at night, go ahead and uncover your North American plants. Watch the weather and cover if you are supposed to get a freeze below 25°F."

Good Growing!
