Hi, I moved some lavender to a bigger pot and didn't get it wet enough
first. Consequently half the root ball fell off...

Will this have a significant effect? Does it in other plants?

Thanks a lot,

C

Did you lose actual roots or just soil? If roots just "fell off" then
they were damaged anyway and weren't doing the plant any good. Or do you
mean that the soil falling pulled some roots off with it?


Whatever, I don't suppose it'll make much difference to lavender. I've
pulled lavender plants from out between paving slabs and had them grow
OK.
