Replant in a bigger container filled with potting soil such as a coffee can with the bottom cut out, and plastic lid on the bottom, or do the same with a ice cream container bottom out lid on bottom, When time to plant tack lid off bottom, and slide the whole works in your panting hole or mound in the patch, PS. Dont remove the peat pot poke a few holes in it, and put plant, and peat pot in larger container together. Roger
