I have some plants which do really look very good, but how can I know when the root system is big enough to transplant - that would be the
best time to sell too? Do you sacrifice one plant (set it back) and look for the roots or do you simply look for new growth?

If the plant will tap out of the pot and the roots hold the soil together it is ready to sell. For younger plants/cuttings if you give it a bit of a tug and it doesn't move that shows that the roots are established so it is ready. Basically, I would never sell anything that I am doubtful about, I think it is better to wait an extra month until it is growing strongly. Just my opinion  |

If it can grow, I will grow it. If not, I will make it grow.

Just my opinion I second this. always wait till you are confident of the plant's health and vigor before selling. that way you will get return business |
