K.W.-Just curious, how often do you repot your E. decaryi? Mine seem to need it every other year. I can actually see the imprint of the below soil rhizomes(?) on the plastic pot now. I hesitate to repot so close to fall/winter.

[Steve Johnson]

Hi K.W.,

Your collection is phenomenal, and a testament to your excellent growing skills. With that in mind, you have a fellow member in Germany who could use some help -- see this:

Good evening Jerry,
it is repotted every three or four years.
I try not to repot so often, disturbs the plants AND makes a lot of work. . .

[Aiko]

That is still quite often. I haven't repotted a lot of mature plants since 2010...
