Nan ! A few days ago I tran's planted Mom and babies out of cups full of roots into new pots new soil. I like doing this to babies when they are growing good but still need Mom but a tran-splanting and new soil gives them a jump !
There are two plants in each pot. I like to keep thses with Mom until their leaves are about as large as Mom's. This gives them a good healthy start and you will be getting a good size healthy baby !
This is one of my favorite Chiritas !
I do this with Strep babies too and keep them with Mom helps them grow healthy and strong. I also do it with Av's that have been down a long time , some may separate them but I have better long term success giving them a fresh home to grow in and keeping them with Mom longer !
Just like a Miniature likes re-potting ever 4 months , and plants get root bound and tired in the same old soil they've used for months, I feel these babies enjoy a nice clean pot and soil too !
I will keep you up-dated as soon as one is the size I like to ship to you ! These babies are so cute !
