how do you like the home-made rake ?

Often a light raking is done all over to see if a root was missed

g type 6.jpg

This shrub is deeply rooted, so no surface roots.
What you are seeing there will eventually be removed
Back in the pot.

Bright light spot for two weeks.
[ went back to Murata's way ]

Forgot to do a complete tree/ pot
stay tuned 2 weeks later
