Title: Lapeirousia repotting
Post by: Rdevries on October 16, 2023, 09:01:13 AM
I have grown Lapeirousia orogena from seed for over 10 years in small plastic 2" seedling pots. The mix is 3/16" pumice with fines and a pinch of local southern red clay.  I was thinking of combining the small pots into a larger pot to make a better display. My question: should i stick with plastic or use terra cotta pots?

Does anyone grow Lapeirousia orogena
in masse with luck keeping them happy?  How do you grow them?

Until the great greenhouse heater failure of winter 2016, grew Lapeirousia oreogena en masse in 4 inch square deep plastic pots for many years.
