Crinum question
Randall P. Linke (Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:44:46 PST)
Thank you for the info, I was thinking 5 gallons would work well.
My clump of C. moorei, which is blooming now, are in a 15 gallon pot, and I
have a few other things in 20 gallon pots, so I know all about how hard
they are to move. I have my dwarf citrus trees in half wine barrels, which
is why they are still sitting at a friend's house. Not that they mind,
they are getting all my lemons.
I have several other crinums and an abundance of 5 gallon cans, so if I can
manage to mix enough soil I will get them all moved up and maybe I will
start to get some bloom.
Thanks again,
Randy

fine if you owned a forklift, I'm thinking. "
Hi Jim-
An appliance hand truck works fine with those larger pots. The strap lets
you tilt them onto the cart without dumping them.
Regards,
Phil
