2025-07-12	repot	great roots, very fibrous. Quite a few thick roots under the base that needed to be addressed. Potted into a deep mid wide orchid pot to spread roots. Cut back a lot of issues and selected potential branches and leaders.
2024-07-16	repot	Removed unneeded branches. Repotted and cleaned out roots. Uppotted, and rebound with budding tape, used guide wires to increase bends on trunk.
2023-07-21	repot	Seedlings came bare rooted. Roots were thick stubs with some fine roots. Bound them together with budding tape then used 2 x 4mm wires and bent while twisting. A few snapped towards the top. Planted in a larger pot. Looking to see if they will fuse.
