Finally repotting after 5 years!

[thez_yo]

Finally, after about 5 years in the same pot my collection of Sarracenia got a nice repot to separate pots:

Left to right, S.rosea luteolata, a couple divisions of S.umlauftiana, S. 'Adrian Slack', couple divisions of S.minor, and a S.flava ornata semi-dwarf with dark veins.

Putting some sphag on the bottom because I'm using peat : sand and don't want the bottom washed out. Usually I don't bother with peat : perlite, but... I'm trying something new.

and back outside!

Thanks for looking

Very cool. i'm sure they're enjoying the extra room. What's the condition of the peat like after all that time?

Around the edges of the pot it was a little slimy, but in the center it was completely fine.

P.S. I repotted the bigger mossy pot that's behind that first shot of the combined Sarra pot last weekend too - it was down to essentially just a gigantic D.multifida of some kind. All these black yarns are actually Drosera roots (it goes dormant for me outside over the 'Winter'):

And now:

That one I just put in my customary peat : perlite, but with some sphag on the bottom too.

the well deserved re-potting should pay off in some good growth for you I would imagine. happy growing!

I'm also getting back into the swing of things! One of the lady slippers you sent me back in the day started flowering as of last year. It's just started to unfurl it's first bloom of the year - I'll be entering it into February's pic contest.
Cheers,

Really? When I wait that long to repot there is usually nothing but perlite and roots left.
