[Cynthia, Prescott, AZ]

I repot when I see new growth. I doubt that it is all that important which way you go. It is just that I procrastinate in most things, and when I see new growth just starting, I know I can procrastinate no longer. I grow in very small pots, so my observation is that the plants manage to empty their pots of water every day, so they get watered every day. If I say don't let them dry out completely, what do you do if the pot is nearly dry every day. No decision to be made for me, but for you, it might be different. Fertilize? What's that? Well, I have a problem fertilizing enough (procrastination again?). So mine could certainly use more than I do. I think Jerry is the one to ask.

By this way, while looking over my Cycs hanging up hard dry, I decided to remove all the old dried up sheathing. That was when I noticed that all had at least a swelling of one or more eyes. I had to remove 3 or 4 started eyes on one plant, a hybrid, leaving the largest swelled eye, to keep it from spreading its energy too thinly. It grew 2 growths last year, each smaller than the bulb I started with. Need to get progress, not regression.
