Should I keep forcing the rootball down into the
pot, or should I fill the gap with soil? The reason I am considering filling
it with soil is because I tried to push the rootball down, but i can't seem
to fill the gap. I don't want to put too much preasure on the roots, or
compact the soil to much because then the air circulation
will decrease.

Colin:

Simply add soil and tuck it in.

Cordially,

Michael Persiano
