So I have my lady that I've kept as a houseplant since early spring sitting in my tent under a led in a 5 gallon fabric pot. I'm gonna flip her over to 12/12 here pretty quick and was planning on transplanting to a bigger pot. I'd love suggestions to what size I should go up to.. Pictures are from the morning. Thanks

Well normally I start in a small seedling size cup. Then whej that fills out I go to these maybe 1-2 gallon pots I have . Then when that fills out I go to the 5-7 gallon pots . but this run after I was in the 5-7 gallon pots I moved them up to the 15 gallon and the 20+ gallon pots
Only downside to growing in fabric pots is getting them out of the fabric pot into a new pot. Never done one from a 5 into something else.

Idk how bad you wanna reuse that bag but when it came time to transplant. You can cut the bottom out then 1 cut up the side when you got it in place . or have a buddy help .

It's a root pouch which is pretty good construction so was hoping to not have to cut it. Was thinking more the roll down method if I can. Only thing I'm worried about is the handles.

Hold it firmly around the top of the soil flip upside down and have a buddy try to slowly take the bag off? That's how I did the 5 gallon buckets but by myself lol

I've never used fabric before, so I'm just guessing here, but what if you wait until the medium is dry, then take a large piece of bristol/construction cardboard (the stuff we used in elementary school for projects, and can be bought at the dollar store) and slide it down around the root ball inside of the pot to separate the two. Perhaps the plant can simply be lifted out with the root ball contacting only the cardboard.
