Repotting Catt seedlings
I just got my SVO order. As always plant quality is superb. Many people recommend repotting new plants on arrival. I want to point out to beginners you do not need to do this with SVO seedlings. Fred uses high-quality Kiwi Bark that arrives in great shape. I always wait to repot his plants until they grow out of the pots, 1-3 years, and the bark is always still in good shape. Most of them flower for the first time in those pots.
You also need to take into consideration the root growth strategies of your plants. I received an 8025t Lc. (or C.) Isfield, which is Lc. (or C.) Pacavia x C. warscewiczii. It has a just-completed new growth, and it is just forming new root nubs. The best time to repot Catts is as they just begin new roots. Some people think the time to repot is when new growth is forming; with this plant, had that been done, it would have struggled to complete this growth on old, damaged roots. So wait until you see new root growth, especially for seedlings.
