Ahh I see, they are really small pots that will get really wet and really dry in small spaces of time. if you have the media just take the root ball, media and all, and repot into say a 5-6" pot and stand in a plastic tray.
They should be fine and will probably gat through next year without the need for further repotting.
Cheers

Too funny that you mention that, Steve. I went ahead and repotted them just yesterday afternoon into larger pots! When I uprooted them, I found out that they were in good media after all. Peat and perlite!

I probably should not have cleaned the root ball and just planted the plug. I think I was decently careful, only accidentally removing two of the small root strands off one of it's main roots... Oops. Nature is forgiving. Lol.

Hopefully they acclimate enough by November. I am keeping them standing in trays with a good amount of water per your suggestion. Thanks again!

Just a couple photos to show Ube and Gumbi's progress since the repot. I seriously love the difference in color. I wonder how their pitchers will look through a full season with me.

Got some little ones on there taking their sweet time.

Summer pitchers. They've loved the extra water in their trays since it heated up. Got some little ones poking through waiting for their turn. :P

Very nice! I'd say you've done a great job with them, and they appear to like your growing conditions! Beautiful colors.

That picture just goes to show the difference full sun to filtered or indoor light gives, they have gone from green to a nice more vibrant red colour with more to come by the look.
Good luck
