A friend of mine started two seeds in an oversized coffee mug similar to this one: The inner circumference is about that of a CD. He claims that the plan was to get them sprouted and transfer them. Well that was never done, the two plants are around 13-14 inches and are directly next to three cacti. I am unaware of what types the cacti are if it even matters. I just need to get the plants out and I'm scared the roots may be entangled. Can some one help?
use a really big spoon to pull em all out. the roots are pretty much definitely going to be harmed if you try to pull them apart. while growing them side by side in a huge container will be tough for light coverage, transplanting into a larger pot would probably be your best option.
