roots growth on an old schefflera plant.

I have a 60 year old schefflera. I just transplanted it and noticed it has a very small rootball (less than 8 inches) Is this normal for this plant? The plant is about 5-6 feet in height.

Thanks.

It can be for a dwarf! This is not normal for a larger plant though. When you put it in a larger container, it should fill that out over time.

Is there any sign that the plant might be distressed, other than that? If you could include a picture then it can further help me to see what is going on.
