hi. i just bought these at a local grocery store and i'm not sure what they've been watered with, so i was thinking about reppotting them. the pots look pretty small to me too. is the media i have pictures of safe to use? should i rinse it somehow with r.o. water?

It should be fine as long as there are no added fertilizers.

Nice looking plants and the peat moss and perlite both look good to use (no additives).

The plants look great! Also, the peat and perlite should be fine

! For sure the peat, since it says (Canadian Sphagnum). Good luck repotting!

I only use brads from shultz, They unlike miracle grow are a nice and good soil company that doesn't add
added fertilizers. So go ahead and use it.

Also, you have very healthy plants that were confined in those tiny terriums.

If I have helped you in any way please use the thank button.

To those of who don't know what Massachusetts is it's a state in the U.S.
