I repotted this into a rough mix of ~50/50 pumice and bark.

This was an air layer pulled off a bit early and left to root more as a cutting. Rookie moves wanting to gain experience with techniques that aren't necessary for the material or project in question... I had initially set it up as an air layer, then realized that wasn't really needed and cut it. At that point it had a single root with a small network.

It and I have been having our fun with mites this winter in the plant room. Between that, it sitting in fairly direct airflow from a fan, and my care efforts stretching thinner (due to too many projects and divided attention), it could use some attention.

Ideally, I feel I should've waited to do this until it was outside and growing well. Maybe closer to late spring/early summer here. Hopefully though, this will help set me up to better provide care moving forward. Incremental progress, or something.

It will go outside for the summer in a week or two.
