| It's almost that time again! Time to haul all those potted plants back outside. When you do, it's more than likely that you may need to re-pot them into bigger pots with fresh soil. Here's a trick I found at All Things Plants (which I subscribe to via email), that I thought I would share with you. This method really helps when re-potting those stickery plants like cacti, large aloes, roses, agave, bromeliads and other prickly or thorny plants. This method is also ideal for re-potting all other plants, too. See LINK below |

| I like that idea for re-potting in general. Maybe I can actually remember it the next time I need it. In fact, I have a begonia in the basement that I could re-pot right now ... TM |

| I quite often repot this way especially larger plants saves a lot of hassle, for smaller plants cactus and such I make collars out of newspaper long enough it goes around the cactus plus enough to hang on to. Kitchen tongs work good too :). Annette |

| Annette, The paper collar is a very clever idea for handling small cacti. Thank you! |
