Hello all. I'd like to thank everyone who answered my previous newbie questions about watering at night, and watering a repotted phrag, but I have another question. Since you can water at night, and you can water a repotted phrag. Can you repot a phrag at night? Reason I'm asking is because I'm going to get a whole bunch of bare-root phrags this week, and I won't have a lot of time to repot all of them before work. So if anyone knows if I can repot at night, thanks.

:iagree: I can't imagine why they would be happier to wait for the day time to be potted.

You can repot your plants anytime, day or night, it doesn't matter.

Most of all the paphs and phrags I get are send bare root. Naturally being part of the working force I repot or pot up these plants when I get home at night. It has not effected any of them whatsoever.:cool:

LOL...I was thinking of Gemlins (sp?)

Do not expose them to sunlight...
Do not get them wet...
And most important, do not feed them after midnight...

Phagmies...

Do not expose to direct sunlight...
Do not let them dry out...
And most important...do not...do not...repot after midnight!

Yes, you can pot them at night. But only on a waxing or gibbous moon. At high tide. In a graveyard. Unless it is the Harvest Moon, or a Blue Moon. Then wait for low tide. Obviously, I'm very tired.

Almost, Pete! They multiply when you get them wet...if you feed them after midnight...they turn into monsters!!! :thumbsup:

" Hea Toots, Where is the rest of your car" I remember the comercial for it. You think that was a neet car? Anyone remember the AMC Pacer. My lap dog is named after it. As a matter of fact all of my dogs, when I was showing, were named after AMC-Jeep cars.
