I make the arrows in photoshop. Since I'm a designer, photoshop is my tool of choice along with Illustrator. If you have photoshop elements, I think you can make them there as well. If you do, I'll write a quick tutorial for you.

I haven't repotted any, but do have the little pot you sent for repotting one but I forgot who was supposed to be repotted. I used the little solo cups as resevoirs for some. I just slipped your pot into the cup and most fit perfect. I taped a plastic name tag on the pot so I can slip it back out to fill with water. While moving some around a few minutes ago, I broke the largest leaf off of Maggie Lee so of course I potted her up!

This forum has SO inspired me in the AV world that I dedicated a new shelf with grow light to them. (don't worry Allison, I didn't mix them with your new plants, these are just the old WalMart varieties. AND I took my super duper magnifying glass to each one to check for any bugs. So far so good)

Here's their new home.

Oh yes, and I found these little disposable containers (i.e. glad ware) and the little ones fit perfectly for the little pots - they are called Rubbermaid 'take alongs' and measure 3.25 inches. I also used the slightly larger ziplock style with the blue lids. Funny, some of the supermarket kinds have a pot with a narrow base where others don't.
