Did some repotting today.

Post by Josh »

As the title says. Not sure if it's the right time or not but its recovered well and growing strongly. Likes lots of food and water, can not over feed this species.

Better watch out they out grow the pot very quickly. They have also been known to take over the yard not to mention the house and just like weed they get into everything! :lol: :lol:

This Red has settled in quite nicely although it has been a cold winter and he is 13 and a half years old. Does like lots of macro nutrients.
