Crinum question

Thank you for the info, I was thinking 5 gallons would work well.

My clump of C. moorei, which is blooming now, are in a 15 gallon pot, and I
have a few other things in 20 gallon pots, so I know all about  how hard
they are to move.  I have my dwarf citrus trees in half wine barrels, which
is why they are still sitting at a friend's house.  Not that they mind,
they are getting all my lemons.

I have several other crinums and an abundance of 5 gallon cans, so if I can
manage to mix enough soil I will get them all moved up and maybe I will
start to get some bloom.

Thanks again,
Randy
