    Glued in? Literally? lol! Or just root bound? You could try removing all the rock, hold the pot upside down and gently tug to see if it’ll loosen up. Are you wanting to repot?

    It baffles me that they do this.. gluing rocks on top is said to make transport easier to keep all the soil in.

    I've seen a lot of places do this with decorative pots and glued in bamboo, succulent, and air plant families in particular 🥲 such a shame

    That must be some powerful glue because mine has some and I was able to break it free by holding the stalks and pulling it out.
