Does it matter if the roots will be visible on the sides of the bottle? Or should they all be completely covered by the bark?

Does it matter if its clear or not? My search still continues, I feel like the 2L bottle might not be big enough width wise to fit the monster roots and 5L might be too big?

Hi! So I soaked it for around 1h and it's looking like this (see attached photo)

Roots are still quite rigid, hard to fold them so they fit in the pot.

Thanks for the reply!

Do you think I should give it another go at repotting and try to cover the roots? It was quite difficult initially to fit them all in as they were quite stiff.

Thank you for such a quick reply!

When you say "keep the substrate the same" do you mean re-use the one that's already there? When repotting into a bigger pot should I add little extra substrate? ...
