After 5 years, its due time for a new home!

Here is my C. Hawaii, which has been in the same pot since I got it 5 years ago (it arrived bare root). I was watering today, and decided to give this guy an upgrade. I was blown away by the condition of the roots! I dont think I found a single dead root, and most were whitish even at the bottom of the pot! Not to mention how many there were actively growing in there! I am a happy camper! And I am now realizing the irony of my post title because I got this plant a week after moving into my current home, and today after repotting, I had an appointment with my realtor to sign the final papers on MY new home!!!! We are both getting repotted!!

Very nice growing! I'm sure you will both be happy with your new homes!
