plantladylin said:For many years now, every single plant I bring home gets removed from it's original container and then I use the garden hose to wash off all the soil from the roots, divide and re-pot in my own potting medium. If there are two, three or four plants with roots heavily entangled, I disentangle the roots and divide the plants into individual containers. I guess I should be honest though ... sometimes I'm not so gentle at untangling roots.

So I take the potted plant out and after hosing it down to remove all soil, separate the three plants, pot them up into individual containers with fresh soil?! I've never did that before. I think I was afraid that I would lose some or all the plants.

Can you pot all three plants into a larger container if you wanted?

Think I'll try it this Spring and Summer!
