Ooh, thanks!! I'll hop on over there and check out those pics asap! And I just realized I never posted that pic of my Sharry Baby in the Lowes pot. I'll have to do that!
My Sandie has slowed down a tad in its growth, actually, but our temps recently dropped significantly as we entered fall, so that might have something to do with it. It still seems healthy and happy, though.
So far my Sharry Baby in the Lowes pot is faring just fine. I was going to wait until it was done blooming to repot it, but it was SOOOOO root bound in its little plastic pot that it was starting to choke to death. I needed to do something to rescue it. I couldn't even get it out of the pot...I actually had to cut the pot off the plant!
I didn't want to "rough up" the roots too much when repotting because the plant was still in bloom, so I don't think any of the roots have actually touched the glaze yet. They're still in their "root bound" formation, just with a bit more breathing room around them.
The blooms fell off recently, so I'm going to get in there and break things up a bit so the roots can spread out. Then I think we'll really get to see how it likes the Lowes pot. I'm optimistic, though. I'll post a pic when I remember! LOL
Thanks for the tip on the Sandie pics! Headed over there now!
