Schefflera dwarf No. 1

Post by wattynine »

First posting on this although I have had the trees for about 10 years or so and just as nursery stock. The one to follow (no. 2) was a cutting from this plant taken from the first re-pot
First photos from 2014 coz' I have lost everything from before that.
Just decided to post them as a progress from this point, you can see they are hangin' for a re-pot, rootbound and starving for water and nutrients, this re-pot should give them a kick-along
thanks

Actually, good pick up Kevin, one side (left in bottom photo) is a trunk, right side was a long time ago, two aerial roots, that not knowing any better as a novice I plaited together.
You can still see the criss cross marks down the length.
thanks for the interest
