Then place the oldest part of the plant against the side of the pot, to maximize the space for it to grow. (These tend to march along the rhizome, in one direction, eventually climbing out of the pot. So you want room for maybe 2 years' new growth. After that it will need repotting again.

Ah well, I guess that's what I'll be doing first thing in the morning after my coffee! It's mid-evening here and my eyes are getting a bit tired - I don't want to be chopping healthy roots off.
