    Default Magic Lantern compot repotting

    I had some spare time today between making sure my body wasn't overheating with this heatwave that's been going on here so I figured I'd repot my compot that hadn't been repotted since I got it about 642 days ago.

    First picture is from Jan 1 this year as I didn't make a pic before I pulled them out of the pot.
    I was so sad that there were 2 giant casualties while repotting as some of the roots had fused together. I know one of the roots came from the one on the bottom right on the picture, but the other one I'm not sure about (it wasn't from the smalles one for sure).

    Hey thanks for the tutorial ! Don't worry about the roots, the plants look very healthy, they will definitely set new roots.

    yeah, those Paphs look fantastic... should flower soon and then we can also enjoy the flowers as well as the pretty markings on the leaves.
