transplanting baby cephs

Nepfreak

I have several baby cephalotuses (cephaloti?) from leaf cuttings, about 6 months old or so and just beginning to send out baby pitchers. I'd like to grow them the way I grow "mom," which is in a square pot with a peat and perlite mix. The thing is, their roots are kind of suspended in live sphagnum right now and very exposed. How do I transplant them into a more dense peat and perlite mix without hurting the roots too much?
Thanks,
Ben
 
Cephalotus is far more resilient than suggested -- and a careful transplanting into other media can be simply done; though, if they are as young as you claim, I'd leave them be for a while, until they develop more significant roots.

What's the hurry?
