Nerine seedlings

There is at least one other action you can take, one that I've done on
occasion, which splits the no-action-now path and the repot-now path.
This is to perform a simple root pruning, cutting the protruding roots
off at the point they emerge. This doesn't disturb the plant remaining
in the soil, and causes the roots to branch, providing for a better
utilization of the soil. Repotting can then be done at a more natural
time, when dormant for instance.
Having said this, I realize that this won't work for all plants, as some
don't have branching roots. However, if this is the case, new roots are
often initiated.
So these are my thoughts!
