The roots are growing though alright...and die-ing of course.looks like you have no choice but to tear some roots or can you just plant the pots into larger containers , I have never use smart pots but was under the impression the roots grew thru them. Or maybe cut the bottom of the pots off and transplant that way..... just my 2 cent..... peace soser
that' sounds scary i would hate for my wife to have the knowledge to surgically remove anything ....lol... good luckThe roots are growing though alright...and die-ing of course..But I dont wanna plant them in the pot...i have to get them out..
Maybe I will ask my wife to surgically remove them for me :rolleyes:
^^^^ agreed sounds like your best option ....Ken try using a sharp knife or razor blade and cut the bottoms off and slit the sides so you can remove those Smart Pots with as little trauma to those roots as possible......
If you minimize the damage they will be just fine after transplanting.......
Good Post Broseff! :)I love fabric pots, just don't use them for anything that requires transplanting, for the reasons you are having. Their is a velcro sided pot, but it's still gonna rip the roots.
The problem you are having with these is exactly what makes fabric pots so great, the roots can grow through the fabric and air prune, rather then circle around in a plastic pot. Roots get lots more oxygen in fabric pots.
