I would also like to encourage beginners to use the "search" function when they have a general question. By using "search" up on the banner above, and typing in a couple of key words, you may be able to find even more information than you were asking for. For example, "maple repot" will give you lots of threads about repotting maples... how, when, what soil to use, etc. Take the time to read them, learn from them, and then if you still have questions, post the questions. By becoming self-reliant in your ability to search and find answers, you get more advantage out of this forum, which contains a whole lot of knowledge. Posting very general, broad, simple questions and getting a couple of paragraphs of answers won't help you as much as really sitting down to learn about the subject. As Pat said above (and wiser words were never spoken) READ, READ, READ. This forum is like a free book, a great big book full of lots of stuff... always there, accessible and useful. Don't sit with the book in your lap, and ask easy questions!!
