Hello Ryan and welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy it and get some good info whilst sharing your new hobby...(which will turn into an obsession pretty soon I'll guarantee!). We are a great bunch of growers from all over the globe, so feel free to ask, post pics and join in as much as possible.

Your plants look good, especially the big guy. I can't give good advise re the repot as I'm located across the pond with vastly different conditions to contend with. That said, we have a plethora of California growers and others from better climates than mine who will no doubt advise you soon.

Ryan,

If using the gritty mix and you can give the plant good heat and sun for another month or so before temperatures get lower in PM., then repotting now (for you in Cali) should be fine. Do not go huge on the pot, maybe one to two sizes bigger and not too deep. Arabicum will not require a deep pot.

Nice looking plant. If I do a repot and want the least amount of disturbance to the plant, I do not rinse off the roots. I always water in with a liquid root stimulator to assist with transplant shock.

Rick,

what do you recommend for a liquid root stimulator? I hear superthrive a lot on here and found start vitamin B1 used a lot in Thailand.

They do speak of Vit B a lot in Thailand. I have Superthrive and I believe it has Vit B in it.

The one I had been told about and tried to get here in Canada, but could not is called "Kangaroots" usually found through Hydroponics stores.

Someone in Florida and quite a few others and they swear by it.

Rick,

wow i just looked that up and man it has a lot of good stuff in it. All organic, promotes root mass and increase the root system. I like it, I'm going to buy that when i repot!
