I think he'll do fine in his new pot. DH had no trouble just lifting straight up and out of the old one. It had roots right to the botton on the outside and had shrunk a bit from the sides so my suspicion was right. He was root bound. Added a full wheelbarrow of manure/sunshine mixture to him in the new pot. Unfortunately now he is too heavy to move closer to the patio where we can enjoy him better. Gonna have to get one of those things on wheels to move him around I guess.
My brug alley is nothing compared to everyone elses but it is handy to the hose and shed with the fertilizers which makes their daily needs much easier met. It's hard to believe he came home in a 1 gallon pot exactly 2 months ago.
Thank you to everyone on DG for all the information I have received over the past two months. I wonder how many people buy brugs at the nurseries and have no idea how to look after them. Kinda like the neighbors who just had to have one that a few of you mentioned. Just think, without this forum I'd be one of those disappointed brug owners!
Thanks again.
