When i transplanted I just straight up plopped the plant and the soil around it in the bigger pot would it grow better if I removed the plant again and loosened the soil so the roots are more free to roam?
Great point Buzz. When not rootbound, there is generally enough soil that drops off imo. Sometimes it's a pain to keep it all together (when i get impatient lol). When they're rootbound, that's when they get the "treatment"
