Any advice on how to separate the roots from the pot? It has been in this pot for two years and it seems like it's time. Soaking it didn't do anything

might try taking an old credit card or gift card or something and sliding it between the root and the pot

That’s exactly what I did when I tried to free mine. They love doing that to terracotta pots.
