What do you think?
Not too shabby, brah.
Maybe a little small and pale, but that's fixable
As a general rule, when plants gets as wide as, and taller than, their shoes.
And the bottom fans start to yellow and resorb.
It's time for bigger shoes.
Take a close look at the weep holes.
See any root tips?
Prepare the new soil with PH'ed, lightly nuted, water.
Add some of that soil to the new pot so that your gals sit just below the rim.
When the height is right, add moist soil all around.
Carefully lift it out your girl, pot and all, leaving a shaped hole.
Take a piece of thick paper, or cardboard, cut a slit to the center of it, and pull the slit around the stalk.
That will catch crumbs and keep your root ball intact when you flip it over.
Turn the pot upside down, supporting the cardboard with your hand, and rap it's rim downward against the edge of your bench.
The ball will drop out of the old pot onto your hand.
In one fluid motion, turn it upright and drop it gently into the shaped hole.
No transplant shock, they don't even blink.
You will see a burst of growth right away.
When that slows, feed it normally.
You are off to a good start.
Aloha,
Weezard
