    Hi , I have done a few , also from flask , most were Phals. what I do is if the compot has a couple of smaller plants I split them off to a pot of thier own , other than that when they are becomming crowded , or the mix is breaking down , as Mike said try what you are comfortable with . Gin

    Getting a compot to try out of something you already grow well is good advice! It can be tempting to buy something more "exotic" because the plants will be less expensive, but unless you know you can grow the adults well, a compot of seedlings is invariably going to prove more challenging!
