Greetings,
Boophone, and large Amaryllids in general, cannot be over-potted. The
largest, deepest pot you can adequately manage is the thing to go for. If
you are growing B. disticha, you should certainly consider trying one of
them in the ground - I get yearly blooms from my B. disticha in the front
garden since I planted them.

Another question is regarding my Boophone. I have had them for three
years
now and they are sending out leaves in the fan shape this year (first
time
it did this for me). They are currently in a clay pot with potting medium
that consists of 50% sand and 50% potting mix. I would like to keep them
alive until they will flower which is probably another 10 years or more.
How often should I repot them and is it necessary to increase pot size.
They are in the 8" pot now.
