Default Removing Large Plants from Pot.....Tips??

"Sacha" wrote in message
. uk...

We made the mistake of planting Euryops in Ali Baba pots four or five
years
ago. There isn't a prayer of getting them out! Just recently, a high
wind
knocked one of them over and the pot broke, displaying the most incredible
mat of roots in the perfect shape of the pot's interior. Nothing would
have
extricated those - literally nothing. I think that Rupert wrote that he
had
once managed to free a root bound plant from a large pot using a pressure
washer, so it might be worth trying that but the plant and pot's survival
will always be in question.
