I had to send out a mirabilis echo. in a trade and when I pulled it out of the pot all the soil came with it. Very extensive rootball I paid extra for shipping because of all the soil stuck to the roots.
Your right about all the soil in the pot coming with it, that white pot in the background was the one I was using. Everything except the bark at the bottom was attached to the roots. Just curious, my truncata produced its biggest pitcher while in a 4 inch pot. It was 7 inches tall. I repotted it into that white pot. The summer was very hot and the next 3 pitchers were only 5 inches tall. Do you think the decrease in later pitchers was caused by the heat or overly large pot?
