Help.

So these two have been growing… a lot. And I’ve been needing to do a repot but I’m afraid. I keep them well watered but they still lose about 15289 beans each time I touch them.

Any tips? I also want to put them in little hanging baskets instead of normal pots so they can trail more.

Any ideas to help meeeee? πŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ€οΈ
3ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage

Im not sure if I wanna post my truck but I guess I will at the risk of sounding like an idiot πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I put 3-4 chopsticks into a tee pee shape and use those to hold the root ball while I flip it over. Gotta have your pot ready that it’s going in ifc so you can just place it. Then it’s just chop sticking soil aroundπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I won’t say you won’t knock some off though.
Omg, I have no advice as these also terrify meβ€” they love spreading their beans anywhere and everywhere lol but I wanted to say that’s quite the impressive bean octopus you have there πŸ˜‚ it’s so creepy and cool how they just GO and keep GOING
The most success I’ve had repotting with as little beans lost as possible, give them a good watering a couple days before so they are plump & more firm! Other then that I usually just pray for the best, be gentle & sprinkle lost beans on the top soil to let them fill the post eventually πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ freaking beautiful & so long, ugh I love the look of yours !! Good luck repotting them ☺️
@itsjordan I really, laughed out loud to your bean octopus comment, that was a brilliant description πŸ˜‚
I have no advice just that they are beautiful
Works with prickly things too
Prickly things u can’t wrap up easily that is
Suppose you could even use 2 forks lol
