Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

17 September 1938

Mother,

Six palms and one "Purity in the mind" have come for repotting. They are pot-bound and their roots have enveloped the drainage materials. To take out the potsherd, charcoal etc. and put the plant in the next size pot, the lower portion of the roots will have to be cut. Do You allow me to do this?

Is it not possible to repot them without their roots being cut? With a little care and time it seems to me quite possible.
