Ray is definitely the guy you want to listen to when dealing with s/h! I was going to say the same thing. Only repot your plants into s/h as they are throwing new roots on a new growth. Your plants will likely die if not repotted at the correct time. I also like to cut off most of my old roots before I put them in s/h, hence the need to do it when new roots are coming out. Like Ray said, your old roots will probably rot in s/h, so cutting them off helps prevent a mushy mess that will allow for rot to creep into your plant. I've only been using this technique since Feb 2011, but I like the results so far! Good luck!
