    Smile 5 Catts repotted into S&H

    Hi all!

    On Thursday I received 5 new catts in the mail, so I thought I would take some photos while putting them into S&H.

    The 5 catts I received are:
    1. Blc Good News 'Hawaii'
    2. Blc Lawless Romeo 'Juliet'
    3. C. Penang 'Black Caesar'
    4. Lc Mini Purple 'Blue Hawaii'
    5. Pot. Edith North 'Danny Adams'


    First picture: New catts swimming in my sink in some warm water, just to soften up the roots a bit before they are unpotted. Lc Mini Purple has already been removed from the pott and is ready to be cleaned up!

    Second Picture: Unpotted, dead roots trimmed and all old potting mix removed from remaining roots, they are ready to be potted up in Hydroton.

    Third picture: All potted up and ready to rock! As you can see, I uaw a variety of recycled containers as pots - waterbottles, 2 liter bottles, milk containers. Its much cheaper than buying actual S&H containers!

    These plants will now spend the next 4-5 days in a low light area while they recooperate, and then they will join the rest of my 'chids on the windowsill!

    Thanks for looking!
