I had a monstrous potted celery plant that had massive root build up outside the pot. I cut those roots off and it never phased the plant. Those roots are coming back just as heavy as before.Interesting! I did not know that. Thank you.
I thought all plants disliked have their roots messed with, to one degree or another.
When buying well developed plants at a nursery or garden section of a store, many of the plants are root bound. It is a common practice to make vertical cuts down through the roots with a knife (I usually do 4 cuts) to promote new root growth outward when transplanting the root bound plants.
