Need some advice on deflasking a Paph venustum from Orchid Inn. Roots are so tangled together. What should I do?

I usually wash as much agar off as possible without disturbing the roots and put the whole bundle into the pot. I was told it's better not to separate the plants when deflasking.
I've learned to not try to untangle them from flask -- they are too tender. Sometimes I even leave the agar, or most of it, on, when I place them in compot. They are easier to take apart when they grow new roots.
