Thank you for the courage :), im doing this as soon as i get homeNo worries man. Calm down. You didn't kill it. You're going to save it here. Get it out and rinse the roots clean and check their color at the same time. Take a couple of pix for us.
In the same 3 gal, hang the plant over the pot so that the roots are hanging down into the pot. Slowly fill the pot, keeping the roots spread as much as possible. Fill it right to a finger width of the brim. Put a finger width of stem into the pot hanging down.
Ok so I cleaned the roots off the best I could I was super gentle. Some roots came out during removing it from the pot Soni guess those can't be helped. I did what was said above and held the plant until I filled it up. Only thing I added as earth worm castings. Now I'ma try to water it with ,6.5 pH water. Untangling them was a challenge but I did the best I could to separate the roots from each otherWhen you use a living soil, the pH is chosen beforehand. You decide on what pH it should be and mix in the correct amount of lime to hit that pH. Any more will throw it off.
6.5 on the nose is hard to come by. I would never mess with that. Once you have room, you can make your own and adjust to your own preferences.
Last time I slurry tested ours it was 6.4 which is just fine for organics.
Anything above 6.2 will not have calcium issues.
Ok So I want to say it was fine from root rot I slightly dried it just a pinch in front of the fan just enough to untangle The Roots I was able to untangle the roots and I was able to get a more clean and there were more so white I can't recall before I putting it back in there any issues with any kind of slimy Brown roots because I did wash it off a little more from in the picture and I was able to separate it more so I did put it in there and I have pictures of the repotThe white is what you want. There is some light brown at the capillaries but that could be excess dirt. Scummy, slimy brown roots are root rot and will kill your plant. Lets see it after replanting.
Done. Looks better all ready. Now I guess they gotta recover.Excellent. Now take the 3 worst leaves off. They don't heal anyway, so let's get rid of distractions.
They may still take a few days to move in, but once they have things will turn around for you. Once that happens, they should start growing rather quickly. Rock on ... Oh, and get yourself that moisture meter. You can find them right around $10 so its a small investment that will reap many rewards.You just did the most difficult thing in growing. Transplanting freaks many people out. You got it down now.
Just to throw this out there if you use mychorrazie make sure your using endomycorrhizae and not ectomycorrhizae.All that organic stuff. I bought the soil premixed locally and it's prebaked. The brand is Kingman. It has the peat and bat ish and all those meals and minerals in it. I did add mycorrhizae and extra earth worm castings. And added some all purpose 4-4-4 as a top spread and dolomite lime. But I'm just did this yesterday. The issues been a few days now
