2024-08-16repotroots looked good but hadn’t filled pot, expected more roots. Needed to repot as pot had deteriorated. Into a similar sized bonsai training pot. Cut off a high root and cleared out a wedge under it.
2022-08-08repotMajor repot, cleaned out old soil, got into the garden soil root ball, didn’t remove it all. Cut of one large root, that took 25% of root ball. didn’t cut the rest, got into better mix, fits better in pot. Buds looked to be moving so didn’t wait.
2021-08-13repotInto a grow tub, split the root base in half, tried not to mess with roots to much. Container was a bit shallow, added sphagnum moss on the top and made a mound.
