Question
Hey SNW,

Winter is approaching, and I was thinking ahead to when I will rejuvenate the growing area for my plants early next year.  I've seem your videos on basic techniques for plants such as Sarracenia, Drosera,and Dionaea.  Currently growing a Cephalotus and want to know how to repot it in a way that minimizes root disturbance, since I know that this plant dislikes repotting in general.  What do you suggest?

Answer
Hi Taylor,

The simplest thing to do when transplanting Cephalotus is to use a solution of Superthrive when transplanting.  Remove just a minimal amount of soil to avoid root disturbance, then soak the plant in a Superthrive solution for 15 minutes.  Just follow the directions on the bottle for concentration.  After that just repot in the recommend soil mix.  Also, try to give Cephalotus a big pot.  They get long roots as they age.


Good Growing!
