Transplanting Tribulations

Hey guys I transplanted a rootbound plant without breaking up the root ball. Then I read that it's important to do that. So dug out the plant again, broke away almost all the soil until the just the roots remained, and replanted again. I know this is going to be a major shock but really hoping she makes it...fingers crossed

We shock our roots all the time. Even just making holes in the leaves stops root growth for a while.

so you think she'll turn out OK? ...maybe i shouldn't have done that but I really felt like the rootbound plant was just sitting there in the new pot, doing nothing
