Take a closer look:
He's climbing out! Someone once explained to me that you know to re-pot a plant when it starts pulling away from the sides and pushing up like a cake does when it's done baking. I hadn't seen it until this one. When you see these roots you'll see why it's pushing up:
See how huge the roots are? Here's another look:
One last view of the bottom:
So it looks like a new pot will be on my list of things to pick up when I go in to town next. :)
Oh yeah ... it looks like it needs a new home. Remarkably healthy looking despite it all!
ReplyDeleteHi Missy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to my blog. I have not heard the cake done baking method of determining when a plant needs repotting, but it looks to be right on the money! Those roots look pretty pot bound.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteThese pics are absolutely magnificent and your little plant definitely has some strong roots. I hope that they have not cracked the pot.
I came across your blog on internet and wondered why I haven't visited it before. I am a hobby gardener myself and love to see my plants grow and produce nice flowers.
I am an instant follower and bookmarked the blog instantly.
On my first visit to the blog I would like to share something. I also recently found a magnificent resource which gives us a wonderful opportunity to organize seeds easily and conveniently. I am sure that you and other blog followers will love it too!
I hope to learn more about gardening from you and other fellows here.
Best Regards
Jack
