So I think it's about time to get this plant into an appropriately-sized pot: Roridula dentata by Nimbulan, on Flickr Does anyone know how large of a pot a mature Roridula plant needs? I got a Roridula gorgonias 2 years ago and followed the directions in The Savage Garden for it using mineral-heavy soil and a 12" clay pot, but I'm wondering if R. dentata might prefer a larger pot since it is a larger plant. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

I understand they are very sensitive to root disruption. I don't know if I would repot it. I grow mine in coir pots so I can up-size the pot without any root disturbance.

Yes I always use peat pots to start seeds of species that dislike root disturbance (Drosophyllum, perennial Byblis, Roridula.) It won't be a problem moving the plants, but I'm having trouble finding information about what pot size is necessary for mature plants.

If the growth stalls for a few months with no obvious reason, go to a bigger pot.

I prefer 10 inches deep 4X4 pot for roridula. Mine seem to like it.
