Re: Repotting at this time of year in the UK?

[...] Sadly, the place i ordered the plant from has some plants that have had their leaves painted with luminous paint. A pointless and cruel thing to do in my view. Thanks. I have purchased another Echeveria Miranda Chameleon. [...] I am also puzzled by the chain of actions here, but perhaps the e...

Re: Ecehveria Maria worries

Thank you Tom and ESP.

I think the plant is a bit pot bound but i was worried if this was the wrong time of the year to attempt a repotting.

It is pretty cold over here in the UK and obviously still Winter. Should i wait until spring to repot?
