Well, the deed is done. Unfortunately, the Spousal Unit had to SAW the pot off; there was no way the 2 of us could even slide it out of the pot. I hated to lose a good 20 inch pot, but.............
I first had him saw it in half, but after seeing the size of the "halves" I had him saw the halves in half again. There was one section of it that has 3 bloom spikes, so I tried to not disturb those too much. In order to get them to fit decent in the new pots, I also had to take a "saw knife" and cut about 6 inches off the whole bottom of the pieces. Talk about root-pruning.
I had told the SU that someone on one of the forums here had told me I'd probably have to use a Sawzall.............he told me "A sawzall would have NEVER cut through that". LOL
So, now I have 4 plants...............I only want 1. If they don't croak, perhaps I will try and sell the others in the spring. I have a pic of the carnage............still in the camera so I will do that later.
