I am not holding my breath, because unfortunately this was my first attempt at collecting from the 'wild', so I probably didn't do it right, but I tried to dig a large rootball out, only as I was taking the root ball out, I noticed there were not many roots at all giving this guy food. There was only 1 slightly thick root going way to the side, about 1 cm thick, that I had to cut, but hopefully the little guy pulls through.

It is already incredibly thick at the base, but it spreads out twice as thick just under the soil line, but wont attempt any showing of that until years down the track, provided it survives.

Are there any recommendations on what to do to help it survive?
Should I add fertilizer? I am guessing, obviously leave it in the shade. We don't get a whole lot of sun up there at the back so it probably doesn't need much anyway.
Thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated.
