Repotting Cephalotus with Minimal Root Disturbance

Cephalotus dislikes root disturbance. Here's the lowest-stress method:

Procedure

  1. Prepare new pot with recommended mix (peat/perlite/sand).
  2. Gently remove plant, shaking off only loose soil—keep root ball intact.
  3. Soak plant (in its root ball) in Superthrive solution for 15 minutes (follow bottle dilution).
  4. Place in new pot, fill around with mix, water gently.
  5. Use a deep pot—Cephalotus develops long roots over time.

Good Growing!
