it’s currently potted in a mesh bottom container. My plan is to let it grow, grow, grow and to only do a bit of branch selection along the way to avoid creating inverse taper issues. The idea is to get it growing vigorously and increase of the foliar mass to the point where it will have a decent chance of a successful air layer.
