If the roots look alive but are compacted, I would simply repot without trying to untangle the roots. Root damage opens the door to rot, which you want to avoid at all costs. <br /><br />Use dry soil when repotting and wait a few weeks before watering. <br /><br />Late spring would be better than now, actually. <br /><br />I hope this helps.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-46984810459567429222015-11-19T12:27:29.942-08:002015-11-19T12:27:29.942-08:00It looks very happy in it's new pot!

Who knows what else might show up on their clearance rack?<br /><br />Becky, I was very lucky to find this pot at 50% off. The shape is perfect and I think the colors go really well with the golden barrel cactus. Yes, I can definitely see the similarity to <a href="http://www.olsonstoneware.com/" rel="nofollow">Olson Stoneware</a>. I don't think they do flower pots though.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-2710392926780438932011-02-07T09:45:46.418-08:002011-02-07T09:45:46.418-08:00Very Interesting and ideal way to transplant your ...Very Interesting and ideal way to transplant your Cactus!
