so i have a severely rootbound plant in a 1 gallon pot. i am planning to transplant in a 2 gallon next watering, but i just want to know what is the recommended method of dealing with the rootball. should i break it up or just leave it alone? i've seen people who recommend gently cutting it with a razor or just teasing out the roots a bit. then there others who just leave it be and let the plant sort itself out after transplanting.
my first intsinct is to just transplant and leave the rootball alone since i like to play it safe but what do you guys recommend? is it really necessary to cut the rootball or is that just to speed things up?
