The girls were looking a bit rough today. So I'd forgotten, and didn't think about it until today, but I'd potted these kind of low in the pot because it was so huge.

After work they were dry. So I carefully layed the tall plant over, then slid the pot off the root ball. Then added about two inches of new soil under, and only about a 1/4 inch around the sides. Plus this didn't get any dirt on the plants like when I've flipped them completely over.

The LST was different. I found which side of the pot could be rolled onto (because it overhangs the pot a lot). Then gently pushed the branches on that side, away. Thus laying the pot on it's side and again sliding the pot off the root ball. Only issue here was I ended up with the previously almost level top being at and angle. The side that was a bit taller from stretch, is now way taller. However, underside access is easy now.

Both went quite well. Oh, and the tall one is getting a bit top heavy! :thumbsup:
