Dead, in the trash you go.

It slowly but surely lost colour in all its needles.
Definitely didn't leave enough roots.

Repotting and angle change.
Starting with the final result as the last hour has been one of panic...

As mentioned in the last update, I knew I had to repot this sooner than I would have liked to.
So this morning i wanted to check out what was growing in there.

Teracotta pulled out of the plastic pot. So many escape roots

I wanted to damage the roots as little as possible, so I broke the pot with hammer.

This is where the panic began...

...I didn't have a pot big enough, and this matt of roots was DENSE.

I ended up cutting the bottom out of a larger seed tray, and wiring it down onto another seed tray to heighten the walls.

Repotted at a lean. I've been thinking about this change for the past growing season and I think it turned out quite well.

Now to let her rest.

Cheers
