Neatly done. You done right, since the flowers tend to come out from under the plant or the very edge of the pot.

Thank you it barely fit in it but was to small for the next size up.

It came from shermantp; I feel this was from ecugenera? and maybe it was something they sprayed on it upon arriving in the country because let me tell you it smelled something fiercely retched.

I was like wowza what is that smell you guys reek. But it disappeared once I washed them and got rid of all of the old media.

Smell will go away, use Bud's cinnamon remedy to protect from any possible fungi, and that cinnamon smell will be so festive at this time!!

I know. I actually sprayed all of them. But I really think they already got sprayed down with something. Because I have ordered before from Shermantp and it NEVER smells like this.

And by smell I thought it was rotting it smelled so bad. So whatever it was sprayed with is severely stinky stuff.
