Phal has overgrown ceramic pot- break it or let it ride

[DirtyCoconuts]

Lol hammer time huh, ray?

I was thinking of doing it in a tub of water. That way I can leave most of the big shards with the plant but the small bits and dust is in the water? Thoughts?


Ideally I’d have the whole pot in a much more malleable form and then drop the whole shebang into a larger pot, treat the broken ceramic as more media

I got up close with my headlamp and there is still some bark in there. Not sure that makes a difference when it is basically trying to walk out of the pot
