I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Plant Identifier
I bought some on clearance, Heavy Metal Switch Grass. It is about 3ft tall in the pot and very root bound. It is nearly 100 today. I dumped them out of the pots and used a bread knife to cut them in two because they were so pot bound. Then I dug a hole, and back filled with some looser soil and watered it well. My question is, should I cut the tops down? If so, how far? I know this heat is not the best time to replant, but they were doing so poorly in the pots I figured I had nothing to lose.
