I've had good luck without doing anything fancy. Buy a larger pot and some good-draining soil. Put some soil in the pot till it's almost full leaving a hole in the center the size of the old pot. Push gently on the sides of the old pot to loosen it, then carefully grab the bottom of the stem and pull it out of the pot. Don't mess with the roots....just put it in the hole you made in the new soil. Put soil around it, press down a bit to solidify it in position....DONE...water.

Nothing fancy....basically just pull it out and put it in the new pot. The roots will find their way on their own....messing with them too much only stresses the plant unnecessarily.
