Question on when to share Rhodophiala bifida
J.E. Shields (Thu, 24 Sep 2009 08:02:44 PDT)
My rule is -- in general -- divide or repot just before new growth
occurs. I think you are a little too late for this year. I would suggest
well after the leaves die and shortly (a couple of weeks) before you expect
bloom
On the other hand, I don't grow many Rhodophiala, so they could require
different timing.

Hi all -
I have some Rhodophiala bifida in pots that I dug last year (with owner's
permission) from a vacant lot. I would like to share some with the BX, but
haven't been able to figure out the best time.
Right now they're blooming, soon to be followed by leaves. Should I wait
till spring? After most of the leaves die?
TIA.
