Maybe it's because I've done a lot of these that it doesn't bother me. No -- I do loosen all the roots, take out the old media and pick off the dead roots.


But I still remember the first time I repotted my first Phal. I think it took me an hour to separate the roots and clean them off -- I was so scared. But that was hundreds of re-pots ago.


There have been times when I've had to cut off, or break the pot, to get the roots out. But usually pot-bound plants come out (of plastic pots) by rolling the pot on the floor while stepping down on it (with pressure). Sounds hard on the plant, but it's really not.
