I just bought several different types of flowering plants and they all came in six packs. I am still new to this, but I have bought some before. It seems that when I go to plant them, the roots to the little plants have grown together. I have tried gently massaging them apart, but it feels like I am actually ripping them apart. What is the best way to separate each plant without damaging the roots?

Normally what I do when a package of plants is root bound is to remove them from the pot and gently tap them on the ground. This will loosen up the roots and the dirt holding them together. Afterwards, you can pull them apart without damaging the roots. You can also hold the plants and shake them to remove the dirt and losen up the roots to make it easier to separate the plants.
