Phrag. pearcei Repotting advice…?

[Califoutdoors]

I have a pearcei with one mature growth, with a VERY well growing new growth that is about 2.5” now, and growing like a weed. I can almost, almost, watch it jetting up daily. Planted in Kiwi bark/perlite, and it sits in a saucer of water. I knew that pearcei was a vigorous/hardy Phrag—and this guy has proven that to a T. It’s my first Phrag.

I’m getting some Rands Aircone pots tomorrow, and plan on re-potting some Paphs. Was wondering if this is a good time to re-pot the pearcei? It will be in the same Kiwi/perlite medium, maybe even using some of the current medium as it’s in decent shape (yay, Kiwi!)

Go ahead and do it. It's a super vigorous species. Not normally the time of year I'd repot, but 2 things:

First, pearcei will grow year round if conditions are favorable, so there will be new roots to adapt to the repotting.
Second, if it doesn't work out, you can PM me and I'll send you a giant chunk of pearcei as a condolence.

That’s nice!
