Hi,
Be careful when repotting your B.liniflora. They have barely any root
system when young, and I have found most that have been repotted
usually die shortly afterwards. Place them into a highly humid environment
once you have transplanted them, and hope for the best!

B.liniflora in my experience have been annnuals.If they do happen to last
longer than one season they tend to become very straggly, and don't
flower as well as they did in their first season. My advice would be to
collect seed at the end of every season, and resow at the beggining of
the next.
Hope this helps,
