It's really hard to get a good photo of this rootilicious plant! The roots extend almost 3 ft down.

The plant that started this thread is already well outside it's pot again and needs a new home quickly. The only way I remember this is every time someone adds a post to this thread!!

And to bring this thread full circle, here are a few photos of the plant that started the thread being repotted today. The plant has been in need of more space and the massive root ball pushed it out of the pot again. Check it out:
