How long should I wait?
That would be nearly two more weeks. So the roots won't continue to grow out the bottom? For some reason I thought they would.
Each time it dries out it grows more complex roots. The top gets bigger and it dries out faster. The first drying May take three days. But the second might take 2.5 and the third 2. So 8 to 10 days. Then when transplanting it will grow faster and be less stressed.
Now I'm confused. So you're saying transplant asap?
All soil fully rooted before transplanting. Not just showing roots a little.
I'm saying potup(transplant) now ...before those roots get a chance to dry out or aero prune as its called
Just because two people agree, doesn't make either of you correct.
You truly know nothing about roots. Or their affects on the plant, except that they feed the plant. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I use pots that air trim ALL ,my roots. Cloth pots are made and bought just for that reason. And your afraid of air trimming because you don't understand it's affects on the plant.
So I assume it's ok to gently pull the plant out of the cup to inspect the roots? I've read where people done that. What are your thoughts?
Gently invert the pot tap the bottom with your hand and inspect the roots ..
I'll check it tonight and try and get a photo to post later.
I was able to get the plant out easily and check the root ball. I'm going to transplant tonight. There's circulation at the bottom so I think it's ready. The root ball felt nice and compact.
