Ken,

Congrats on such good looking seedlings. Mine are still quite small after
two years being in a terracotta pot with a very low organic mix. You have
two different species, B. orientalis is winter growing and B. gregaria is
summer growing. It looks like your B. orientalis recently went dormant so
this is a good time to repot them. You can probably water them in once after
repotting. I still haven't decided of this is a good practice but it works
for some people. As to your B. gregaria, keep them growing for a while
longer until they go dormant (perhaps in the winter), then they can be
repotted.
