You can do it all at once if you like, the biggest concern I would have is the state of the roots. I'm assuming you've never done a full repot - only potted up a size here & there? Repotting includes bare-rooting and root pruning, which has a considerable rejuvenating effect on the plant. Al Here is a link that might be useful: You'll probably find the info at the thread this link leads you to interesting.

I wouldn't complain either...lovely! It's registered as Rsc. Haiku Mint. Carol

I know I'll be looking forward with interest in seeing the updates. I'd also be very interested in hearing Anthony outline how he arrived at the conclusion that pruning a tree heavily when it's going through the part of the growth cycle during which the plant is at its lowest energy level of the year (late winter) is a wise choice, and particularly how heavy pruning of an already weakened tree reduces stress. He may very well like pruning hard in late winter, but it's a certainty that F lyrata does not. I also hope that no one buys into the idea that that particular habit reduces stress. It actually compounds stress. Please fill us in, Anthony?? Al

No, I'm not a counter. I was put on a no sodium diet back in 1969. No, that 'no sodium' is not a typo. The doctor actually meant NO sodium! Including the natural sodium found in many foods, like broccoli, celery, etc. The list of things I could not eat was extremely daunting. And I suffered through it, as best as I could, for a number of years. When that doctor retired, I was blessed to find another who was empathetic and much more understanding of human nature and quality of life. He immediately changed 'no' to 'low'. What a difference! Anyhow, 1500 to 2000 mgs per day has been the recommended amount since. But I have never actually 'counted' mgs. I do read labels on any packaged foods I buy very carefully. I don't eat out very often, but when I do, I try to choose dishes I know to be low sodium. I also try to be extra careful the day before and the day after I eat out, to help balance out the splurge. I don't add any salt to anything I cook. And add only what is absolutely necessary to whatever I bake. This method has worked very well for me for a number of decades now. And I hope it always will! I'm afraid I'd be a miserable failure if I ever had to actually count mgs! Rusty
