Hello all going to be transplanting these two big(er than others) plants into new 3gal buckets, and need some help getting them out of old bucket. Ive seen a couple diff ways by people so im just wondering how would you advise me to do this? thanks all!!

By the way has anyone ever heard of that soil? went to go get some more FFOF and my hyrdo store was all out, he pointed me towards this stuff said its almost exactly the same as ffof rather it has better drainage? any input would be great tahnks

Squeeze the sides of the pots to loosen and remove. Support the stem as removing. Put some soil in the bottom of the new pot. Put plant in add soil as needed and water in. Done. I haven't used that soil.

I like 30% perlite total. Roots has good nute line but many stores are closing out (savings) as demand dropped. Here anyway.

First of all you get on your plant moist but not wet. You want the soil and the root ball to stay together but not be all sloppy and fall apart because of being too wet.
Put the appropriate amount of soil in the bottom of your new 3 gallon buckets. You measure this by putting soil in the bottom of the bucket and placing your old plant bucket and all inside your new one; you want the top of your old soil height to be where you want the top of your new soil height to be.
Take the plant your about to transplant and put it on a table or the ground whichever; using the palms of your hand put pressure on opposite sides of the bucket and slowly rotate it while applying moderate pressure. Do this until you have made a complete rotation of the bucket at the least once or twice.
The idea behind this is to break the soil free of the side of the bucket.
Place your hand palm down with the stock in between your fingers and turn the bucket upside down, if it does not fall out freely give it a gentle tap on the bottom.
Before turning your plant back over place your other hand on the root ball and gently turn her over and set her into your new bucket.
Fill the remaining voids with your soil and give a decent pH water to.
I gotta go I hope this helps you.

You can water it early in the day, then later that night squish the sides in, tip it over holding the main stem with the webbing between thumb and forefinger and hold the dirt with your palm. The pot usually slides off easily at that point.

The two big ones where root bound as shit!!!!!!!!!! crazy crazy over due well i guess thats what a first time is for!

You can pull rip/ cut off the spiraling roots ( be conservative though don't go yanking half the roots away. It will help your plant have more efficient roots and branch out more. Kinda like topping for roots.

i've switched to roots from ffof, love it. no regrets. i usually cut it with a little perlite or roots greenlite. it does have better drainage.

General plant stuff usually applies pretty well on canna since its a weed and thrives under unfavorable conditions.

a little trick that seems to work well is about an inch of perlite on the bottom. If your using reg soil this def helps to so that your soil isn't all stuck in the bottom with roots, as well as it really helps drainage.
