I bought the yellow Mason's twine and then could not find it. I searched my house and my car. So I went back to get some more and decided to get the neon pink this time. I figured it would make my babies look classy. I was trying to figure out how to wick those that are in the basic 4 inch pots without repotting them. But then I decided the soil that they came in is not very good soil. So I'm going to have to repot them anyway.

I am still confused on size of pot. Most of my standards are giant puff balls of flowers. They hang over the sides of the pots and are in 4 inch pots that they usually come in. Should I repot them in the same pots or should I use something smaller. Most of them are about 6 inches across. What size pot should I repot them in? Here is a picture of one that size. You have seen her before but she has bloomed much more now. What size pot would you put her in when repotting her. She is Rhapsodie Stephanie.
