In late summer when still hot here I successfully moved a plant SEDUCTOR with a pod. Had to disturb the roots a lot since I was digging out of rocks and clay so extra important to water it well for a day or so beforehand. That way the plant is charged with water so root damage is less critical. Also moving on a non windy or non blast furnace day increases the chances of it not missing a beat. Then don't overwater and keep out of strong sun. I find that unless a plant looks really weak, then transplanting or repotting often makes a growth spurt. Except for when I planted one too deep and it rotted soon after.

But I am still amazed at the difference in vigour between my cultivars. Some tiny stressed plants soon become like giant leeks while others stay small thin things for months.
