i would just take up a bit of the soil around the roots that you are using now...i tried the whole have the roots dangling thing before and it took over a week for it to recover..i just moved one to different soil and i just dug around where the roots were and made a hole in the new pot and just put it in...it adjusted to it within an hour or so

i would say just do a reg. transplant roots are pretty damn delicate and fucking with them will almost certainly cause shock if u have a really strong root system u could take it out of it's current pot, hose all the soil, off, then put the plant, sandwiching the roots system between the soil

bud side effects of this may cause death...........

it's not really putting new soil over old...it's just basically to keep the roots together...i mean it does grow in to the new soil...the only old soil is whats holding the roots together for the moment until it penetrates the new soil
