Well, we didn't get many pictures 'cause we were in such a hurry to get to MO to visit DH's folks. Plus we didn't do sightseeing other than to stop at Battlefield of Little Bighorn/Custer's Last Stand in WY. I don't even have a scanner to show everyone what we did take pics of.

Sorry!

Note to self: Backtrack to popular tourist traps after buying a digital camera and/or a scanner!!! ;-)

Anyhow, most of the 40-some-odd plants made the month without incident other than maybe getting too hot & dry or moist & not enough light and air circulation.

I did lose a couple. None were C & S.

I'm worried about the 'sick' ones recouperating & all acclimating to their new, cooler (built-in AC), less light & less room surroundings.

The potting mix for some reason gained a greyish crusty look to it & turns hard again shortly after watering.

Should I repot now or wait until the plants have de-stressed & look healthy again?

Thanks!

Loosen and crush the crusty soil with your fingers and remoisten it. It should be fine after that. Now is definitely not a good time to do any repotting. Let your plants recover and adapt to their new environment. When they are growing vigorously and very potbound, then you might consider repotting.
