I always say this BUT !!! yesterday while wtering my window plants, they are all wicked in little cute containers I put a couple inches of water in..fill when empty. Not long ago I put a baby of " The Martin" from Mom in a 2" rd pot. It was wicked and in a cute little tea pot growing in natural light. Now " The Martin" blooms non-stop if you give it some light it will go craxy. I lifted it out of the tea pot and it was stoned dry and wow roots were coming out of the bottom 4 holes and the fith hole in the middle with the wick had roots growing twisted around the wick. lol I never had this happen just seemed like it grew over night. It is about 9--10 inches across abd just a blooming crazy struting it's stuff :)) .
It was root bound but they were white and healthy I had to put that baby from a 2" pot to a 4" pot ! This does not happen often . Most the time I go up slow 2", to 2.25 or 2.50, then 3 " then 4 " .Just this baby jut took tght off. Surprised me !!! Though most time it woulf have gone to the next step pot it's roots system was so healthy and loy's of it , it had to go into the 4" poy. Being a large growing plant if it keeps it up this pot will be full in no time.
How about you ? do you have a story .
