For those of you who do not know what root bound means; simply put, the pot is too small for the plant. The roots need more room than what the pot provides. The solution is to either transplant the plant into a larger pot, or plant the plant in the ground.
There were other issues:
- The roots were getting too hot.
- The pot was not holding enough moisture for the plants to grow.
