I would like to know the difference between a mini and a semimini. I would also like to know more about a mini and a semimini trailer. I have both and mine are growing out of their pots so I need to repot them. What size pot should I pot them in. Right now Aly's Rosy Baby is in a 2" pot and Sweet Sam is in a 2" pot. I have taken photos of both of them so you guys can tell me if they look okay or if they need bigger pots. They are both doing great and have grown so much since Allison sent them to me. I just love the little guys. Update: I just returned from Bluebird's and I got a 2½ " pot and I think the extra half of an inch will be just about right for them. What do you think? I bought some 2½" pots and some more 4" pots. I also got some more Optimara plant food and some more trays and lids. I want to put all of mine in nice trays with lids and I have the ones I need now. I have a big problem with my leaves drying out which is not related to how much I water them. They need to be covered. Here is a photo of the front of Sweet Sam. I think I will move him from a 2" to a 2½" pot. That is all that I have so I hope that will do. If you guys think I should order some bigger pots, then I will. Bluebird only uses the 2½" and 4" pots so that I bought.
