Husband thought pot for my Thai con may be a bit small…

I’ve been keeping this plant standing with a lemon balanced on one side of the pot so it didn’t tip, finally got round to cutting it out of its plastic pot prison today…

I’ve put it in a bigger pot, tried loosening roots but some broke off so I panicked. Do I need to do anything else or will it sort itself with more soil and bigger pot?! It’s so tightly bound it’s horrific 😵‍💫

Where is it?

Repotting this to save the green bits. I put it outside a little too early before the last frost and so a lot of it died.

This is the most root-bound plant I've had yet.

Went to NC for a wedding and my sister in law asked me "is this rootbound?"

The taking of this picture was followed by around 4 or 5 hours of volunteering gardening work repotting this beauty. At the end it split into 10 pots with a mix of orchid bark and mulch with some perlite thrown in to let it breath.

Apparently my heat exhaustion spread to my phone because all of the photos I took between finishing and when I got overheated to the point of losing my lunch got corrupted...strange coincidence

Growing on the side of a rotting wooden staircase

Should I take them and plant them in a pot or should they stay here until we repair/demolish the staircase? (Stonecrop, Hylotelephium spectabile)
