Repotting Planter Gone Wrong Norfolk Island Pine

See how this project quickly turned into a "transplant from hell." Today I am tackling a massive project for one of my clients: transplanting a gorgeous Norfolk Island Pine that has completely outgrown its old tapered pot. In this video, you'll see the exact struggle of dealing with a severely root-bound tree, why you should NEVER tease or disturb the roots of a Norfolk Island Pine (thanks to some quick AI research mid-video!), and how I managed to salvage the situation using a creative drainage setup with lava rocks.
