Yes, this is what I expected it to look like!!
Professional growers seem to cut these roots to fit the depth of the basket, but then they would probably hack the whole thing to fit a pot. I have never had luck succeeding with that. Silva Orchids around comes to mind, they are really good taking apart these overgrown plants. If I did that I can kiss the divisions goodbye! Smiling
I would soak the whole thing and gently place it into the basket with the roots carefully wound about. Works for me!
