Curious about Groot’s root ball … prior to new pot, did you massage the mass of roots to gently loosen \& separate?

#### Tippy replied on 2026-07-13

Yes I did and it took me over 20 mins to get him out with minor root damage

Well done Tippy👍👏🙌

Thank you. It was my first time and I was extremely nervous. Now I have to get pass the fear of propagating
