This is a Dueterochonia longipetala that I clearly left too long in this little pot. This root-mass is quite tough and solid. The bottom isn’t too overgrown, but more so the roots growing around the outside edge. Should I try to loosen these roots, which I would do for other genera, but these roots are so woody and stiff and don’t have any give at all, that I’m not sure what the best course of action would be.

With my other terrestrial broms, I just dig out any loose media that I can and repot. I don’t worry too much about untangling the roots and they all grow like gangbusters. Any wisdom would be appreciated.

Thank you.
