> When should I transplant the poor thing to minimize the damage? My choice would be to do it at the end of some hot day after it has dried out a bit (or even withhold water an extra day or whatever appropriate period of time), so its soil has shrunk a bit from the sides of the old pot, the whole thing is a bit lighter in weight, and the soil is a bit more likely to hang together instead of falling apart during lifting and repositioning in the new pot. But anytime would do. --- Brent
