Hi guys, I have 2 seedlings that I received bare rooted in December 2020, and 2 that are 3 years old (received as 4" pot from Brent November 2020) that I plan on repotting this coming spring. I have seen a few posts with seedlings being bare rooted for root over rock planting and I will like to use at least one of them in such style. The 3 year old are planted in pine bark/pumice/lava and I would like to move them into 100% inorganic media as soon as possible.
If it is possible, do I have to take any additional consideration with them? Like no sun or partial sun for a few days? I do plan on keeping as much roots as possible in the repot. I'll try to post pictures of the seedlings later today.
The wires are horrible... they were done before I knew any better . A side question, can I remove some of the foliage from the sacrifice now to allow more light to the lower shoots, or wait till fall and remove the extra shoots and leave 2 per node? I thought about using the one on the left as a literati but the trunk broke about an inch above the lower branch. I left the wire longer as an attempt to help healing, and this created unsightly swelling in that area.
