Watkins, it is ok to moderately cut the roots when repotting your plants. In fact, it is good to cut away some old, long roots when repotting. This can stimulate the growth of new roots, and improve the plant's ability to absolve water and fertilizers. Hi M. Watkins, it is ok to moderately cut the roots when repotting your plants.

The pebbles surrounding the plants are "glued" into place and I wondered how to transplant them, in the future, into larger containers without damaging the root systems. Pls. advise re repotting, fertilizers, etc. Thank you. They are beautiful and I receive many compliments when friends realize that they are real plants. M.
