QUESTION: Will pulling out a nursery pot from a filled container damage surrounding roots? CONTEXT: So as the title says, I want to put a 7 gallon nursery pot into a 20” pot. I’m planting one big plant in the center and surrounding plants for mulch and aesthetics. However, I’m only putting the nursery pot in there to “reserve” space for the roots of the big plant. My plan is to pull out the 7 gallon after a couple months and repot the plant fully in the 20”. But I’m worried that by then the surrounding plants will be close/touching the exterior of the 7 gallon and I want to avoid harming the roots as I pull it out. So, will that be the case? Or does it depend on the plants root growth whether they’ll be mature enough by the time I pull out the 7 gallon? Thank you so much!

    Removing the nursery pot from the big pot won’t hurt the roots no matter the amount of growth they will produce, because you can just pour some of the dirt out of the big pot to shimmy the little pot out. But I would be concerned of removing the plant from the nursery pot entirely because the roots will go through the drainage holes (probably) you’d need to cut it out, my guy, so that’s my only word of caution.
