Root trainer/barrier in bought plant - ok to plant?
They should be removed at the potting up stage IMO, after they have grown lots of roots through them its not easy, but the propagators dont care if the plant lives or dies in a couple of years.

How do you feel if this happens?
I blame TV gardening shows, they have no relation to real gardening and growing. Instant effect, not keen on garden designers personally.
