thanks bunches golden graham i think i might go aheads and do it but i just dont wanna cut the roots but i cant think of any other way to do it. I was playing on cutting the soil like cake and moving the plants out in portions but i figured the roots would be all bound up and intertwined. i know i gotta saturate the soil to pick it up and out and everything but i never transplanted before and read up a whole lot about it over time, and all they do is transfer from 1 little pot to 1 big pot. instead for my need of transplanting multiple plants from the same pot to multiple pots...
