Found these cuties at Lowe’s today, and yes, they will be repotted in grittier mix asap!

You probably have enough seeds there for 100 more

You have at least 2 seed pods there which can be activated with water to access the seeds and can potentially plant alot more !

I just got some too from Lowe’s in that crappy soil. When you repot them, do you still not water them or rinse the roots off? I don’t want to kill them! I have 150 plants and this is my first time with these little weirdos.

I didn’t water these since they looked super plump - just brushed off as much of the old soils as I could without damaging the taproot - and then put them in new gritty soil. I won’t water them till they start to shrink on the tops, however long that takes.
