Using the tooth pick method that Bodhidharma showed a while back i decided with all my spare time to set a layer and improve the roots on the original base trunk and the middle layer .The bases and layer were treated exactly the same , drill the hole where required ,100_8975.jpg

and back filled and/or potted up .The trunks were tilted slightly just enough to get the drill at the correct angle .Then a probe/chop stick was used to press the soil back around the base as per normal re-pot, watered and it all over . These 2 will be allowed to grow on for several months then cut back by 50 %,hopefully the full on growth will produce the roots required prior to clipping back
