| Look for healthy plants having dark green leaves with no browning or wilting, and also choose those that appear rootbound. |
| With rootbound plants then, if you can accommodate a larger container you can pot on. |
| Avoid plants that are leggy, rootbound, or too big for their pots. |
| You can hold greens in starting pots for four to six weeks, but don't let them get rootbound. |
| Winter is the best time to repot roses that have become rootbound. |
| This rootbound philosophy has been an industry cornerstone for decades, established in the days when only thrifts made mortgages and commercial banks did everything else. |
