That's exactly right Sharon. The two they recommended for potting are
completely dormant. I'll catch on eventually...

And here's the beginning of the thread, for anyone who's interested:
<I should have mentioned that I also received some other arilbreds (BLUE
GATE, KALIFA ABRA, MOONSTAR) in the same order, but the Wights singled out
just BIG BLACK BUMBLEBEE and IB MAC for special treatment. Any comments on
this?
BBB is a near aril, with a strong tendency toward summer dormancy. BLUE GATE
is a quarterbred that does not go completely dormant. The other three
respond differently to different conditions.>
