Wow,

Thank you for your post. I have attached a photo of the new substrate with the turface.

I will water with my pond water adjusted to a pH of 5.5 and see how that goes. After 2-3 weeks I'll start with a diluted fertilizer of your recommended 9-3-6.

I'll start to ramp up the light, and after the tree's new roots are more established, in maybe 3-4 weeks, It can spend more time in full sun, and I'll prune off whatever top pieces so I can have a vertical "top" section.

I'll try your "box trick" with the propagation mat when the night temps are above 50. This way I can leave the tree outside more often. See photo of it's new mobile home :) Moving with this inflatable wheeled cart much easier than lifting the tree twice a day.

After having a look at the root ball, I've decided to leave it in the existing pot, as it seems to have plenty of room to grow.

Thank you very much for all your efforts in these forums, you are really a godsend to us newbies who know very little.

:) Jeff
