hey dude when you transplant, rough up the roots, if you dont they will stay in that ball. im serious i was gentle and thought my hands would do the trick but noooooooo, i had a plant transplanted and i decided to kill it and pulled it out, and it had the thickest root mass ever, still in the shape of the party cup it started in 2 months earlier. im talking about getting some pliers and scraping the crap out of the sides so roots are ripped and pointing every which way ok. and stick her deep in the soil, like up to the very bottom leaves!
