Thanks for the quick replies all. Today I took a couple hours to expose the roots on the hinoki ('elegans'?) as well as my azalea.

Here's the Hinoki pics. (I have a present vision for how I can see it progressing but want to hear others thoughts). I'll just post pics first, then I have to run and buy some bonsai soil (90 minute round trip) before they close so I can play with these plants this week.

I've never untangled rootballs before and I hope this won't kill them but it was the only way to get the roots exposed the way they were tangled. I kept the entire plant misted/moist and it's now back in it's nursery pot.

Can the root crossing left to right in centre of this pic be straightened out?
