So instead of popping out a root ball or transplanting to a bigger pot I took my 5 gallon pot, cut the bottom off with a razor knife, and inserted it in to another 5 gallon pot filled with about 3 gallons of soil. I feel like this is the easiest way and gives the roots room to expand downward. There was some sign that the roots were getting very crowded when I cut the bottom of the pot off. I did not loosen, move the roots, or "prepare" them to penetrate the new soil. I really didn't know if I would mess something up and they were kind of tight down there.
Soooo, will they take to the new soil on their own after a few days? I hope it wasn't crucial that I loosen the roots and force feed them into the new soil and that they put their roots down on their own.
Thanks.
