Re: Just repotted
Ta muchly for a speedy reply
addressing #2, first, --- wife has books on similar and knitting similar so might not need the expense of Amazon or Waterstones
addressing #1 ---- So I could start to repot a substantial amount of my newly acquired (but some from old collections) collection which is in old compost, rubbish (being polite) compost; or just outgrown its current container as long as (1) I am careful, and (2) I don't water afterwards. As a rider to this question, therefore, what about offsets? Can those be detached from mummy and placed on dry compost after they've calloused over? Several of the large oldies acquired, have offsets by the score.

Incidentally, I mean repotting cacti Aloes, Agaves etc. If it were Stapeliads I wouldn't touch them until they have started growing in spring.

Re: Just repotted
I always ensure the potting compost is completely dried out if I do it in winterel48tel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 8:15 pm "el48tel" is shortly to change his "handle" to "puzzled in Leeds" --- so can anyone answer simply and concisely the question from this newbie?
I thought you left catci and succulents alone for the winter(apart from a few winter growers and a few oddballs which folk keep throwing into the discussion). To me that (=dormancy) means no water; minimal heat; etc
So how does "re-potting" in January (at least 60 days from the equinox) equate with dormancy? Answers please before 22h00 if possible because at that time I may just bin my entire collection and take up crochet.

Re: Just repotted
Leave taking and rooting offsets until the weather warms up - March April time but - taking off lots of offsets means taking up much more room so don't unless there's a reason.
