Awesome tips! Any recommendation on home-remedy concoctions to substitute for banrot? Do you think a mild mix of hydrogen peroxide (or something else) with water would work as a dipping solution?

Sounds like it will be okay to cut outer roots from the sides (snipping at the top of them to remove) and it may also work to cut some in half horizontally at the bottom so that the root ball is shorter to fit in a pot? That would make sense for needing a dip to treat the opened ends of the wider roots at the bottom....

I have a potted one that I'll try this out with and will post pictures to document how it fares! Thanks so much! Group hug
