no tap roots on bananas so relax

now that you are calm get a larger container and pot it up

root circling is assured if it's been in there a while, this should be dealt with

most recommend cutting down the outsides of the rootball

I personally like to wash off as much dirt as I can and comb the roots with my fingers. I don't like to damage roots on my valuable plants or one of a kind, new favorite, etc.
sometimes this can double or triple the root "footprint"

For bulk work with ornamentals I'm quite brutal with a sharp shovel.
