I just received this "Hummers Giant" started by leaf TC. The grower has it in a LFSM mix. When would it be appropriate to transfer it to more 'ceph-like' home...

Current pot is 2.22" square by 3.5" deep

I've been growing Cephs since 1978 and I'd keep it in the same pot and compost for a year or more - let it get used to your environment which is probably different from the guy you bought it off. With Cephs - they don't like change, so 1 change at a time.
