Took almost an hour to disentangle the dish and then the remaining soil, but man was she worth it. Fingers crossed I keep this one alive, she’s a rebuy 🤞🏼

I’ve had to do tht with one of my plants as well. Takes a ton of time!

Pothos do like to be root bound so you can easily repot that as is and it should cut down on the shock.

Typically I would, but I’m surprised it hadn’t gotten root rot yet from the store mix stuff it was in

Holy root bound! Nice work!
