How about those 7oz clear plastic cups? Make a few holes, or one large one on the bottom. Fill it with jiffy mix or something sterile. The clear plastic lets your observe root growth and can tell you when is a good time for a transplant as well as preventing the plant to become rootbound...if that's what you want to prevent. A few slight squeezes and small scissors can cut the cup...and then completely pull it open. If you have let sufficient roots to acquire the soil mix you will have a nice root ball. Intact. Ready for transplant.

Edit for grammar.
