You should cut the pots to more easily free the plant without damaging the roots.

#### StormLover replied on 2024-12-15

Done! I'll know if leaves don't start to get black and squishy! Roots looked lovely! Thank you so much!

Oh gods, that's annoying. Are the nurseries really getting this lazy that they can't decant the net pot??

#### Sunny replied on 2024-12-16

It’s not laziness. It’s cost savings. They have to pay workers to cut those off. It’s also built in obsolescence. The plant dies and you go buy another one after blaming yourself for failing. Many don’t know it’s the cage of death that kills the plants.

### 9s commented on 2024-12-16

Most growers start their plants in those plastic pots assuming us owners will remove it during the first repot. It’s a cost saving method but it’s also very effective for rooting props to grow. It’s not meant to stay on forever - just like how most potting mediums are just straight peat when it’s a growers pot - you’re supposed to change it for the best growth.

It’s just not usually communicated that that’s the intention 🥲
