I usually recommend that folks switch over ONE PLANT that they have otherwise mastered growing, and see how it goes. Once you've adjusted to the change in needs, THEN try something else.

And ALWAYS it's best to transplant a plant just as new roots are emerging from the base of the plant, hastening the recovery.

Caution noted. I'm only repotting purchased plants in moss that I consistently kill, and brand new plants with no roots at all in SH. I am eager for the method because it fits the type of culture options I have and my tendency to fuss very well. I'm sure I'll lose something at some point, and won't cry at all
