It slides out of the 6 inch pot, easy...cause the root system is compact...can't hardly see the soil because of the roots....:thumbsup:...same with 8 to 10 inch.

flip it upside down and pull it out...don't fiddlefuck around...do it quick. Put the root ball into a new, bigger pot with fresh soil added.

I like a weak dose of root stimulator and water when finished, too. Zero shock, if done right.
