Tony, can you please elaborate?

I'm under the impression the plants offered on his site are more seedlings of the same cross you originally bought and not a division. Sam does have a section on his site marked as, 'select ' were i bought a nice previously bloomed niveum. I assume he would list select divisions in that section and not in the general website.
Wow!
Thanks for the info. I have an awarded one, but had purchased another large plant from Sam early last year. I just checked the tag and it is the SAME CROSS. I don't see any sign that it will bloom this year, but I hope it is a nice one too. Mike
Excellent 527. I’m cutting the spikes on this dude and repotting soon. I do see one little side shoot I think I am going to try and divide off and pot up also!

It's not hard. Just cut some slots in a small pot, cut a hole about the same size as the small pot into the bottom of a big pot, and ziptie the small pot in place.

hmmm not sure if I'm following. So are you saying that you insert the smaller pot inside a larger pot to avoid disturbing the root ball?
What about just taking the whole thing out of the old pot and slide into a large pot with new mix around the roots?? With large chunky mix at the very bottom for good drainage?
the small pot is upside down - like an 'aircone'.
I think I have settled on a 27cm./10.5in azalea style clay pot to repot this St. Swithin in. I really like the Rand Air Cone pots in the larger sizes. But, regrettably this is the largest size. The center of the pot/media does not seem to break down. On small pots, I have grown to dislike them, they dry out to fast.
