Root Bound - a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
Photo: Taken in 2021 in the Beelu National Park at Lesmurdie Falls. The tree is actually alive. Root BoundEvery so oftenI pass a grand old treewhose bark is rough dishevelled in need of a comb,whose branches twirl and bendwith a canopy sparse,whose roots are likeancient tentaclesreaching out into the earthrising and falling loopingentwined ina sea of soil,and where there are gapsI see myself…

i decided to repot my spider plant on a whim and holy shit am i happy i did bc this lil guy was SO rootbound!!! i think he's honestly my first rootbound plant, holy fuck. but now he's happily repotted in a much bigger pot!
My dad and I got this peace lily some time ago. Its flower things have died, but the green parts looked fine. Or, it did until the other day, when one leaf turned yellow. I saw online It could be caused by soil with too little nutrients or drought stress. So I took a closer look at its soil….
Well, it seems I found the issue. My diagnosis is root bound. I prescribe a bigger pot.
root bound plants in tent show and tell boomer learning to grow series B...
dealing with root bound plants in my tent today, up potted all these after, & got them in 2x2 vegging so other 4x4 can get ready for flower. here I do a short show & tell.
I was absolutely not prepared for how root bound my ctenanthe lubbersina was holy shit. There was maybe an inch of coco coir at the top and a bit in the center. I was just pulling dead roots out and teasing the healthy ones apart by hand, but I ended up taking a hose to it to try to get some more loosened and it barely did anything. I feel so bad that I didn't re-pot it sooner, I can only imagine how long it's been in the same like, 5" pot for it to get this bad. But! They're all cozy in a cute new 12" pot and will hopefully enjoy all the extra space and forgive me for the rough treatment of it's roots lol
Root Bound
For @flashfictionfridayofficial 157 prompt : Need more space
Tangled
Tight together
Searching for space
Room to grow
Until
Someone notices
And lifts it out
Gently shakes out the roots
Placing it in a bigger pot
Room to grow
For a plant
It is easy to fix root bound issues
But what of a person
Filling stuck
No room to grow
In a relationship
A job
A family that doesn’t understand
That what they are expected to be
They can’t
How to their roots get shaking out?
How to they grow?
Sometimes you just have to uproot yourself
Have to push out and make your own space.
To have room to grow.
